So, the idea evolved into this multi-component quilt that included feathers, some different arrows and patterns all with a low volume background.
It's funny but my main inspiration came from the carpet at Great Wolf Lodge.
Lot's of Denyse Schmidt fabrics in there!
I started out by making all the different components and then putting them together like a puzzle. It was pretty tricky and I really took my time with it.
This top left corner of the quilt is my favorite. I just love how it came together.
The back is nice and simple using just three fabrics: two Field Study prints and the feathers!
I could not be happier with how it came out!
Super cool Emily! I love how it has a very improv-y feel, but with a general theme. Love it.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! I love how you used the feather print on the back too.

ReplyDeleteI couldn't imagine following a template for the feathers either... but I'd love to try them free pieced. Really lovely, low volume background. I love working in this painterly style.

ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! I made the Feather Bed quilt a few months ago and I love it. I was thinking of making a second one but this inspires me to be more improvisational with it. Fantastic work!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful! I'll have to try making a similar quilt. Love the idea and the colors!
ReplyDeleteI love it too! It looks like hieroglyphics on a cave wall. but even prettier :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I love this quilt! I love the randomness and the colors!
ReplyDeletethis is honestly one of the most beautiful quilts i have ever seen.
ReplyDeleteI found your quilt/blog via Pinterest and have to tell you that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this quilt! It's soo unique & cool! LOVE, LOVE, LOOOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteAmazing! I love this quilt. I also found your blog via Pinterest.
ReplyDeletePLEASE PLEASE make a pattern for this!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou should be happy! This quilt is great. I love the top left too.
ReplyDeleteI like that quilt. I like the idea of trying out blocks but not making a whole quilt each time. Instead put together a mix quilt. I like that.
ReplyDeleteWow! I can see why you call this your new favourite. It is awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the most beautiful quilts I have ever seen! I had a go at making the feather blocks too, and while I love them, I seemed to have such a lot of fabric wastage. Such a beautiful use here of those blocks.
ReplyDeleteVery very cool!
ReplyDeleteFantastic and beautiful! Unique design and it was nice to see where your inspiration came.
ReplyDeleteHi Emily, I have come back to this quilt at least fifty times and it is so beautiful and meaningful. Before I found your blog, I thought that you were a native American Indian and this quilt had special deep meanings in your life. I loved it. You are by far a natural artist with a great imagination. You should make a pattern for me to purchase, as I am now your number one fan and would love to make one for myself instead of everyone else. . Be proud of yourself, it's great!
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is stunning. If you make a pattern I would buy it immediately.
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt so much. You are so talented. I hope you will be making this into a pattern we can purchase. It is a joy to look it.
