‘Curve It Up’ Quilted

 curve1

Finished quilting my Curve It Up QAL quilt this weekend and am working on hand stitching the binding down now.  This was a fun QAL to be part of and a big thanks to Jenny and Helen for creating it.   My goal with this quilt was to use up some of my hand dyed fabric scraps but I don’t think I put much of a dent into that stash!  I also hand dyed the background and used 4 different commercial batiks to piece this quilt.

I picked Mimosa for the panto design and used a light green thread which blended well with all the light and dark colors.  Quilters Dream Blend batting and a beige/teal Stonehenge for the backing.

  8. That's a great panto for that quilt .. nice movement. But I'm also in awe of those gorgeous windows that are in the background. Is this part of a great room that looks out onto the lake?
