Yesterday I finished a quilt top called Spikes and Specks. This is a Katrina Hadjimichael pattern, one of my favorite Australian designers. The quilt will be a gift to my special niece Cindy. I had shown her the pattern and asked if she would like a quilt made with this pattern, and I let her choose the type of colors she would like in the quilt. She sent me color swatches that she liked and I matched those colors in the backgrounds of the blocks. I took the quilt to my dear friend, Donna, who will quilt it for me on her Handi Quilter long-arm quilter. Here's the quilt top and next picture will be a completed quilt :)
The fabrics are all batiks. I used two different hombre batiks and these were used in piecing the rings. The leaves are all the different batiks used, both for the backgrounds, center circle and pieced rings.
My goodness, you are such a talented quilter...Thank you for the comments..late to reply as I iam still overwhelmed...When the quilt hangers are up, I will send you a pix xo
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely quilt, Teresa! What a special gift for your niece. Though I don't sew with batiks, that ombre looks great with your blocks. Good choices all around. Cindy will love it!
