This is the latest raffle quilt from Cabin Fever Quilters. In an attempt to make it more contemporary, they chose to do it in grays and brights--apparently, the original pattern was all muted tones. I think they did a great job! Don't you??
I apologize for the wonky pic, but this quilt was so big that I didn't have a good place to hang it for a photo. The good thing about that is my new photo spot! I will now be hanging quilts 8' off the floor in the living room. Should make for better shots with better lighting!
Since the makers opted for a more modern vibe with their fabrics, I opted for more modern quilting. Fewer feathers, more linework, etc.
This is a pic of the outer blocks on this quilt. If you click on it, the quilting will show a bit better. The only instruction I received prior to quilting was to
not quilt anything on top of the applique.
This pic shows the frame around the frame around the center. I quilted the gray with both lines and meandering, breaking it in half at the applique line.
This is the center of the quilt. I framed it with quilting in much the same way as the outer border, adding a little more detail in the corners.
A closer shot of the detail:
Here are a few shots of the back
Tickets are available now if you live in the PNW. Or if you really want some, let me know and I'll send them.
