This quilt is now finished. It was started way back HERE . The top was ready in May, 2019, pin basted, then sat on a shelf waiting for attention. I'm glad I waited because I have grown so much with my FMQ in the past year. Here is how it came to be called Alabama Rambler rev.
I had fun ruler quilting this one. It measures 51 inches square and will be for a young child. I guess it has to be for a girl since the backing is a flowery print. It has the nicest poly batt with just the right amount of puff.
I quilted different motifs for each color, an 8-pt star in the purple squares, extending to the white triangles, a different 8 - pt star in the white squares, arcs around the yellow triangles and some dot to dot in the aqua. This one made me think of the 3 bears, it wasn't quilted too little, or too much, just right.
and here is a look from the back ..................
I'm joining these linky parties this week. Be sure to visit them to see what other quilters are sharing.
Lovely job on your Alabama Rambler! I have tops like that, too, that have been waiting patiently as I work to develop quilting skills that are worthy of them. Congrats on your long-awaited finish!
ReplyDeleteJust a lovely finish on this one--I have never done any specialty quilting only straight line stuff--I see a lot of bloggers doing "ruler" quilting out there...

ReplyDeleteHi Kat, that is a really lovely quilt. I love the stars in the middle of the blocks and the dot to dot FMQ. Great job! Take care.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great quilt, its stunning. The pattern would also be good for a boy just replace the purple with dark blue and of course no flowers on the back. Thank you for linking up to Put your foot down.
