I finished this on the weekend! I really like it!!! This is a block that is in Camille Roskelley's book Simplify. It is such a wonderfully simple block but you put it altogether and it looks so much more complicated! This quilt is destined for a birthday gift for someone in March but that person might just get it earlier so they can start snuggling under it while watching movies or super junky TV. This is a couch quilt. Made in the right colours to go with the right living room decor. So there you have it. Can you see that I used some Madrona Road text fabric? I thought that might be fun to look at if the TV show gets boring or the movie gets too scary.
I had a little fun with the borders. I used the dark red print (from the guild de-stash) but didn't have quite enough so I used some Kona coal to finish it up. I quilted this one with Aurifil 50 wt in grey... 2605 to be exact. I quilted vertical straight lines except at the top where I did horizontal lines. Just for interest. And the binding... black and white stripes! Perfect!!!!!

ReplyDeleteCathy, I love your quilt. Wanted to let you know that your link up at crazy mom quilts is linked back to her blog. I had to search your blog to get to your post.
ReplyDeletelooks great Cathy! Reminds me of the quilt I made my nephew for Christmas last year, you just cant go wrong with Black, white, red and gray...nice job!
ReplyDeleteI love the fabric to look at when the tv show gets boring! I notice all kinds of interesting wobbles in my quilting when we're watching old westerns. :-)

ReplyDeleteI love it. And one of my favourite colour combos as well.

ReplyDeleteThis looks great Cathy! I didn't realise it was fabrics from your stash, I thought it was Mama Said Sew fabrics by Sweetwater! You've done so well coordinating them all. The different shades of grey and black give a sort of depth 3D effect to the top.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a perfect colour combination. Just love it!
ReplyDeleteLove your quilt! It's bold and makes a statement. Well done c
