The colors, turquoise, fuchsia and tan, give it a southwest feel. It was made while spending the winters in Arizona:
I quilted it with "Americana Flourish" and used wool batting, to give it a light, warm, luxurious hand.
Check out this zig-zag border! Such a beautiful touch!
The backing is an extra-wide tan pin dot.
This quilt is 72" X 104", which makes it an extra-long twin.
What a beautiful quilt and family heirloom!
Grace & peace!!! ~Nancy

ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt! I love that zigzag border and the quilting design.
ReplyDeleteThat turquoise is exquisite! I love this quilt and the quilting you did for her. The zig zag is a really nice feature and I think the end result is terrific.
ReplyDeleteYou are right about this quilt being luscious; the tan print is just the right background color to make the other colors pop and to showcase your beautiful quilting.
ReplyDeleteVery very nice! I have never had one quilted with wool batting, apparently, it gives it that luscious look.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful piecing and quilting! Nancy, I’ve started a “Grace and Peace quilting ideas board on Pinterest so that I can save your inspiring pics! Thank you for sharing!

ReplyDeleteThose are nice colors - and yes, I was admiring that zigzag border! I love getting to quilt up vintage tops for people, and it's a privilege to finish other quilters' work for them.
