As you can see no signs of spring here yet. I tried to take my quilt to the clothsline to take some pictures but the snow was too deep and going over the top of my Sorel boots so switched to plan B. I took the quilt down to the dock and noticed the wind has polished the boys ice rink and you could see right to the bottom of the lake. The cracks go right to the bottom and we still have about 3 to 4' of ice so it will be awhile before we have open water again.
I used the pantograph called Ambrosia and when I first got it I wasn't sure I liked it. It has a very linear design. I couldn't recommend it to my clients until I saw it on a quilt so thought I would give it a try on my own.
Not only does it look nice but the repeat in the design is 6" and my blocks are 6" so it worked out perfect. And it was pure luck how it worked out in the center.
I used Stonehenge wide backing for the back.
I was going to call this post 'Quilts on Ice!' :)
Love those photos and the quilt on the ice!! That ice is awesome. Being in SC I don't see that type of thing. Amazing. I like the last picture where I can see the crack in the ice really good going all the way down. What a unique place to take a quilt photo. And I laughed out loud at "quilts on ice". Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteQuilts on Ice--another example of your creative side. Ambrosia gives this quilt a very special look. As the ice thins I wonder if you will be able to watch fish swim beneath the ice. It is a really fun activity while the ice is still safe. A
