Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Machine Quilting Negative Space »

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Unisex

Style: Mod


Materials

Marimekko fabric and batiks

What was your inspiration?

The Marimekko fabric in the background served as the inspiration. Batik circles were fused on amid a few pieced flying geese. The overall feel is celestial with a lot of movement.

What are you most proud of?

I think the quilting enhances the simple shapes and strong colors.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

I used a varigated thread and repeated the triangles from the piecing in the quilting design as Angela suggested in the lesson. Because I use a home sewing machine, I attached freezer paper triangles in various sizes, scattered across the color field. I quilted around them without marking on the quilit top.

Is this your original design? I'd it is, may I have your permission to use it as inspiration without actually copying it? If not, where did you get the design? Thanks for your help

Yes it is my design and yes you may use it as inspiration. The background fabric is Marimekko and all those colors were in one fabric. The geese are pieced but the circles are not......dsheck

I'm so very impressed by your FMQ and feel inspired to take the course as well. I love your colours and the way that your quilting has "echoed" your piecing. I think it's exceptional.
