This is one of the quilts I have recently finished. Having no computer for a while certainly increased my creative productivity (but I missed you all)! I love this quilt.
I used Moda Kyoto Cloth as the cream background fabric. It's 50/50% cotton and bamboo and was beautiful to sew. I used it on the back too, and you can see what a lovely crinkly appearance it gets after washing. I simply machine quilted a cross hatch all over the quilt in a gently variegated neutral King Tut thread.
With bamboo batting as well, the quilt came out of the drier very crinkly and soft, with a lovely drape. I love the way the colours shimmer across the surface, creating an optical effect. It's amazing how these subtle colours and designs can produce such a dramatic result... a bit like Emily Bronte's simple Wuthering Heights story.
I'm making in it Kaffes (Rowans really) with a fuchsia dots background now to see if the effect is the same!Brilliant lime backing...
Till next time-
Ann.
That looks wonderful - the first photo looks like you had fun colouring it in with pencils!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know about Kyoto cloth - that sounds lovely t use. It has turned out a stunner. Can't wait for episode 2!

ReplyDeletewow. I haven't used the Moda Kyoto Cloth yet but now I want to try it, glad you liked it so much, always nice to get a review of a new product before I jump in and try it.
its such a mellow quilt but yet graphic...
What size is the quilt?
