My son Max has finally received a bed quilt from me. He requested something simple, with dark colours and not too heavily quilted.
For the main fabric pieces, I used a bundle of World Tour by Parson Gray and a bundle of Juggling Summer by Zen Chic. The black is Kona and I used the same black for the binding.
The pattern is from the April 2011 edition of Quilter's World called "Greydations".
The quilt finishes at about 66" x 88".
For the quilting, I quilted the prints with a soft meander in light grey Aurifil 50 wt thread and in the black rows, I quilted square spirals with black Aurifil. You can see the quilting on the back on the quilt which is a soft cotton sheet.
Max was very happy with his quilt and I was very pleased to know that my son will be sleeping wrapped in something I made just for him. :-)
This is my last finish for this quarter and was on my Q2 FAL List.

Great finish, the Kona black looks smashing with the Zen Chic.

What a really nice finish, it's so classic-looking.
ReplyDeleteDes spirales carrées, tu es courageuse. Mon garçon m'en a demandé, je lui ai dit que c'était trop difficile. Tu les as faites à l'oeil ou tu les a marquées ? En tout cas, elles semblent très réussies.
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous - love the mix of fabrics with the dark sashing. I always like seeing quilts made for guys as I have some Parson Grey "Curious Nature" here to make quilts for 2 my teenage sons.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finish! It seems that you've met all of his requirements and did it with a great sense of color and some really good-looking quilting.
