My mother asked me to make her another quilt and I just finished up the top. She’s been collecting fabric with clouds and water on it for awhile and she wanted them all in one quilt. I wanted to put something together that unified all the fabrics and still had a modern, calm feel to it. I think I did all right! The brown portions have piecing of slightly difference browns and I really like that…Done because I was working with fabric I have, but I think that it subtly adds interest and texture.
I’m headed home to New Hampshire for a long weekend today. See you all next week and enjoy your weekends!
That is so amazing Alissa! I love love love how the water and clouds flow perfectly. Have a great time back east
Very nice design! Your mom must be happy!
That, to me, is the true definition of a modern quilt. Uses the traditional fabrics in a whole new way!
BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Have a great long weekend. The quilt is very nice and calm – I love your design.
What gorgeous fabrics and they look great together.
I really like these fabrics together — and this is a great layout to use them
I love this, Alissa. I can’t believe how groovy you made those fabrics look. You are amazing.
Oh boy! I’m gonna keep an eye on you. Love what you are doing.
Beautiful top! I agree that the varied browns add texture – I’ve noticed this in many traditional Amish quilts & I think it’s part of why we love them so!
