I am entering the quilt I just blogged about a few days ago, because it is quite significant to me. I have only started using a sewing machine in January this year, after receiving it as a Christmas present from my other half. Before that I only did everything by hand, piecing, quilting, binding. and I always make reversible 2 in 1 quilts often using the Quilt-as-you-go-Method. But on the sewing machine I just couldn't find out how to do that properly without something going wrong or looking a bit odd, especially on the back.
And this quilt, the Soul Blossoms & Stained Fassett Glass Quilt is the first quilt where I figured out how to do it properly. I was so chuffed when it finally worked out and I made a reversible QAYG quilt on the sewing machine and it looks really good. I think I will use this method a lot more in the future because making a quilt the 'normal' way just does not do my back any favours.
the sashing in Kona Ash
The back using Kaffe Fassett charms and Kona Snow for the sashing
I used red thread for the quilting on the back
I hope you like it.

ReplyDeleteLove the colourwash effect on the back.
ReplyDeleteWOW! This is just beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteThis is really beautiful. How do you choose which side to display? ~Jody
ReplyDeleteGood question, I can never choose. THere is an obvious top and back depending on what I started with and how it is quilted, but then when it is finished I can never decide.
ReplyDeleteDo you have a tutorial for this? It's so gorgeous!
