Stitches and Color Quilt Finished!!!

I finally made my decision and quilted the Stitches and Color Quilt in a style that I felt would complement Malka's and yet keep it "me".

Here's the quilt in all its glory... I'm so loving this one...

The colors are bright and warm...

Here's the entire front!

A little playing with the camera!

Here's the quilting detail... I went with free motion lines alternating vertical and horizontal in blocks...

Here's the back... The fabric is nummers by ikea... brought from here.

here you can see the detail of quilting... forgive those red threads... I was too excited to pick those tiny things that got caught up while FMQing...

Ready for? Maybe listing into my etsy shop?

Or maybe I'll gift it to someone...

Not decided...

I'll think of something...

Cheers!

By the way did you guys see my studio? Its on Sewing Spaces Focus... Do tell me what you think about it...

Cheers again!

Playing with stitches and colors...

I recently ordered a layer cake of A Stitch in Color by Malka Dubrawsky. The fabric was so beautiful, I hardly had the heart to cut through it... I felt it was like a birthday cake that was so perfect that you dont feel like cutting it up into pieces...

After I stroked it for a while, looked at it for a long time and kept it away after putting it on my cutting mat  a thousand times, I decided I should just do it... I mean, I can always order some more!

So I started off... 

I cut up 18 of the 10" squares into strips and sewed them together. Then I cut them perpendicular to the seams, into strips of random width...

All was well untill then... I even had a 2 yard piece of my favorite white fabric waiting...

Now, While I was cleaning up around the mat, I picked up these pieces and placed them on the red solid that was on my mat waiting for another project!

And then what I had thought would look like this...

in fact became...

I am really loving this one! Its a baby quilt 36" x 48"... And I'm sure that the baby who uses it will love the colors... And not to forget that the mom will love the fact that the color wont show stains easily!!!

Now I'm wondering if I should back it with red or black and white? Any suggestions? (I'm thinking of a solid yellow binding for this one!)

Cheers!
