My critters are all done! Last year 2016 I saw this quilt at one of the shops. I loved the pattern. It is by Elisabeth Hartman, you can get your own copy of the pattern with the link.
I got the quilt finished in time to put it in the Leduc quilt show but had not taken the time to get my nice outdoor shots. This week we have had warmer weather and nice clean snow. So I got the hang it on the fence this week.
I love all the colours. I used mainly the Kaffe Fassett collection and then some light hand dyed fabrics by me. I love how they play well together. The background fabric is a linen type cotton, so it is a little heaver then quilting cotton.
I know some of the royal blue blends but I think the background is grey enough for the blue to show.
I quilted it with a free motion wood grain that I just did. I got better the more I did.

It is beautiful! Your color selection is wonderful. I am amazed you can dye your own fabric. It shows lots of time and talent.

ReplyDeleteLove this!! I'll be quilting my Fancy Forest in the next couple of months. I keep going back and forth between a wood grain as well and custom quilting each critter. Your colors are so pretty, and the blue does show just fine. :)
