Creamsicle Quilt


Shelly made this delicious quilt called Creamsicle, makes me think of hot summer day by the lake!  The pattern is in the book Simple Color - Orange by Vanessa Christenson.  Shelly is on a mission to use up her stash one colour at a time and this is the perfect pattern for orange.


 She asked for simple custom quilting and really wanted it quilted like it was in the book. I tried to convince her to let me quilt few feathers on there but nope, she is a modern gal so I did my best to make sure she was going to love it!  I made a few changes to the quilting in the books sample to add my own touch to it!


Here is a picture of the books version below. I changed out the cross hatching to echo quilting and added a double line in the petal.  




There are a lot of stops and starts to this style of quilting but so worth it!  I used off white So Fine thread and the QP Curve 20" template for the curved quilting.




I really want to make an orange quilt now, how about you?

  7. Would you mind if I featured this quilt on my blog. I'm doing a feature on fall quilts. I would use your image and link back to you. Thanks

  8. Kathy, I know you quilted this several years ago, but was wondering if the design in the white concave areas was a digital design, or done with rulers and FMQ? It is a really lovely take on the original quilting, I actually like it much better!

    1. I do not have a computer on my longarm so it is all done with curved rulers and the pebbles are done free hand.
