i was going to go bigger with this but then i stopped and looked at it, and thought 'that's it'. it's turned out around 50 x 50 inches so around 125cm square and that seemed like a good size. the 'wobbliness' of it while liberating to begin with, got unwieldy towards the end, with
lots of unpicking and resewing and generally tearing out of hair and much dispair...
WHY won't it lay flat??? i've measured a thousand times! but it's all good. i went through a stage of not liking this very much last night, but this morning, i'm back in love. oh yes.
Hey, what's not to love about this quilt
ReplyDeleteI love the way it seems to 'grow' from the top RH corner, just as you made it
How are you going to quilt it?
Looks amazing! Despite the fact that I can't sew a wonky line to save myself I love this VERY much! Inspirational.
ReplyDeleteso so SO amazingly gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteUtterly fabulous! Wonky = handmade! Anything too perfect usually comes from a depressing sweat shop. I love the "falling in and out of love' bit, we appreciate your honesty.
ReplyDeleteit really reminds me of Morroco and Arabia - the buildings are all these shapes and the brickwork is really like this. I love it.
ReplyDeleteWow! Love it :)
ReplyDeleteLove it Lu! So bright & cheery, well done you!!
ReplyDeleteTotally fabulous. Love that you love it again :o)
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful - you can really just gaze at it for ages, I would love to be able to see it full size!
ReplyDeleteI love this! I second that comment on another post about having it printed as fabric. Maybe you could put it on Spoonflower or something.
ReplyDeleteOh if Paul Klee could have sewn!
ReplyDeleteIt's stunning x
It's your bad boy quilt - you don't want to love it but you can't help it. I think it is stunning!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDeletethis is such an amazing quilt, totally inspiring, thanks for sharing your process with it!
ReplyDeleteI've been drooling over this for a while. It is so gorgeous! Great work.
ReplyDeleteA-flippin-mazin!
ReplyDeleteDazzling Lu - need my sunglasses!!
ReplyDeleteWow.. it's a work of art... love it!! I feel so inspired to make a quilt now :)
ReplyDeletelove it! it is perfectly amazing!
ReplyDeleteI'm in love too. It's pure brilliance!!! Wow!
ReplyDeleteThat's because it's brilliant! BTW, wonky is good and i can't sew a perfectly straight seam to save my life and as a result, nothing ever lies perfectly flat!
ReplyDeletewow!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks amazing, Lucie! One of my favorite quilts of all time.
ReplyDeleteabsolutely incredible!
ReplyDeleteI love it. My fabric arrived this week thank you. You are so inspirational. keep up the great work.
