We may have all decided we needed to
wear a hat today,
but obviously,
none of us chose the same style.
The same idea applies
to the wonderful QAL hosted by
Lori started with a antique quilt,
did some math,
and sent out instructions in three mystery steps.
Those of us who followed along
got out our fabrics, and in our own hearts and minds,
created a quilt.
Sajou
22" x 22"
The name comes from a delightful
shop she visited in Paris.
I decided to use some of my treasured Dutch heritage
fabrics along with some of Di Ford's designs.
Why not!
I tweeted the pattern just a bit
to compensate for my sewing
and to have the blue triangle border
come out even.
(sorry, I'm just like that)
Then it was time to do
some fun machine quilting.
I used a #28 wt Aurifil thread.
I like the texture it makes on the surface.
I can see some of the stitching is a bit wobbly
and a few points were lost during construction,
and a few points were lost during construction,
but that just adds to the uniqueness. (smile)
Lori is having a linky party for a week, so
head on over to see all the different quilts that
were created.
It's amazing!
Thanks, Lori, for sharing your talent
and passion with all of us.
It's always fun!
Until Next Time-
Kyle

ReplyDeleteOh wow this is really pretty! I like this the best of all the ones I have seen. It is a quilt on m to-do list!
ReplyDeleteYou picked up the colors so well from your flower to create the rest of your piece.
ReplyDeleteThose three ladies are a hoot. None look all that happy. There was a time when any respectable lady wore a hat in public.
Great result and a lovely combination of fabrics. Love the way you worked in the blue triangle border.
ReplyDeleteYour Dutch fabrics made a wonderful little quilt! Those blue triangles really sparkle. Beautiful machine quilting. Love the pink border with the red binding - very zippy. love those Bingo ladies. ha ha

ReplyDeleteSimply gorgeous! I love those Dutch fabrics. Yum! And, your quilting really does add fabulous texture.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful quilt. I love the quilting you did on it. My little Pfaff does not like 30 wt thread but I wonder if it would play nice with 28 wt? Something to try.
ReplyDeleteDreamy fabrics and I like your tweaks that make it uniquely yours!
ReplyDeleteSo very lovely!
ReplyDeleteBlessings and hugs!
I just love your version of Sajou - perfect fabrics!
