And, well, now is the exact opposite of July. Until I get braver/it gets a little warmer, indoor shots may have to do. Or, next, you may see me trudging through the streets with a camera, a thermos, and a bunch of quilts slung over my shoulder.
This is Maine. There's snow. My car's thermometer said 1 degree the other morning. BUT, the cheery colors and lighthearted design of this quilt were just the thing to warm up this winter! I've had some free time on an extended holiday break and have just been stitching away.
I decided to work with the concept of a mini version of this quilt, and went from there.
A little bit of everything got thrown into the binding!
Since this is quilt is destined to be a wall hanging (measures about 45x58 inches), I included tangerine pockets on each corner of the back for a dowel.
I had some help, as usual. Nothing beats a cold day, a cup of tea, a podcast, and sewing, so there's more to come!
It's lovely!
ReplyDeletewhere in Maine do you live? I am in Ellsworth, Me!! It is damn cold!! Beautiful quilt, love the colors!!
ReplyDeleteLovely! Orange and blue are great colors for this time of year - bright and cheery, exactly what we need.
ReplyDeleteStunning in its simplicity and brilliance. Those colours are like candy and such a treat in winter. Beautifully done!
ReplyDeleteThis is really pretty. It does remind me of summer. Wishing you a bit of warmth up your way.
ReplyDeleteI love this! Happy winter stitching.
ReplyDeleteIt's stunning - I love improv. quilts and the negative space in yours works so well. I'm guessing that is 1 degree F - 1 degree C is cold enough but that really is freezing!
