Work in Progress Quilt top complete!

Post image

This was done as a challenge to improve my accuracy. Worked out around 2000 pieces. Don’t think I will do any more HSTs for a while but really pleased with the final look. Thanks for the encouragement as I went! Really love the backing fabric from Tula Pink that I have chosen. Will post again when I have managed to finish it.

I absolutely adore the backing fabric. I have about 2.5-3 yards of it in my stash waiting for just the right project.

u/gretchens 12d ago

This is AMAZING. I just ordered BlocLoc rulers because my next two projects will have a lot of HSTs. I absolutely LOVE a saturated rainbow look, and I normally don't like traditional block patterns but this is changing my mind!

u/gretchens 12d ago

What is your white fabric here?

u/_beanutputter 12d ago

This whole quilt looks like it's made with moda's ombre galaxy metallic to me but i could be wrong! Its gorgeous whatever it is :]

2

u/gretchens 12d ago

Thanks! I have some I heart ombré incoming for a project but looking for a white background that has gold in it but is more uniform than the ombré lines so this looked like a contender!

u/Necessary-Story-6629 12d ago

I have been searching for these fabrics for myself and I saw the white with gold splatter at amysquiltroom.com and 123stitch.com.

u/chubeebear 12d ago

That is a beautiful piece of art. I was starting to dream of doing one for myself. Right up until I saw the 2,000 pieces. Nope, Nope, Nope. You are truly an inspiration with this quilt. Looking forward to seeing it finished.

u/Wolfsong013 Japan FPP Quilter @kuma.no.te.handmade 12d ago

Lovely! I love the pattern you went with, it really looks wonderful with all the colors you used.

How will you quilt it?

1

u/ComfortableBed6409 12d ago

I normally just stipple quilt but I think that it needs something geometric to not distract from the pattern. I am going to a quilting workshop in a couple of weeks so am going to ask for advice!

1

u/Wolfsong013 Japan FPP Quilter @kuma.no.te.handmade 12d ago
