Here are the promised photos from Monday’s post. The finished linen/cotton/silk quilt with detail shots…
The one that the applique is finished really doesn’t look much different than in this post except the circles are smaller since they’ve been appliqued down. So, no new photos of that.
Then the one that I had the fabrics and cutting figured. Here’s one block…
The colors are not well represented in this photo. They are black, dark grey, light grey, greyish blue and a greenish color. I’ve been smitten with grey lately. The print is cotton, the solid linen but the most unusual is the size. Do you see the Dresden? It’s my typical size, 3″, which means the other block is huge…30″. I guess I like extreme proportions. There will be four of these blocks, each with a modern print and linen and then one border along the bottom, probably pieced linen. And I think I’ll applique this little Dresden somewhere.
I got the idea when I saw the front of Malka Dubrawsky’s book. In fact all the quilts mentioned in this post were inspired by her, I love the way she pieces things.
Have a nice and pleasant rest of your week.
Your quilt turned out really cool. It makes such a difference after it’s all quilted. I love the bead work and stitchery.
I recognize Malka Dubrawsky name and went to her website to see what you were referring to . I saw her book advertised in one of the quilt magazines last month. I think the contemporary work she creates is really cool too.
Just web snooping. Love the beads and added stitches to the little quilt, like icing on the cake. Super! I”ve never done minis, they look like fun. I make quilts, crafts, and altered books.
LOVE your quilt!!! Would you share where you’re finding the linen to purchase?
I purchase new linen at JoAnn’s (not a huge selection) and used at secondhand stores. There are alot of long linen jumpers out there.
