It's providing a break from what is turning out to be a more-stressful-than-necessary move. I'm not sure why I expected my often dishonest, negligent landlords to behave any differently now that they are selling the house and I am trying to gracefully leave this house ... sigh.
I originally had a different plan for the quilting, but the idea of using a variety of designs based on a equilateral triangle grid took hold ... here's a closer look at the first two. Both are unmarked, using a ruler.(I haven't decided how to quilt the centers of the "cogs"or if/how to quilt the ghost cogs.)
I am joining the lists for:
Scraptastic Tuesday (June)
Esther's WOW (Wips on Wednesday)
Let's Bee Social on Sew Fresh Quilts
WIP Wednesday on Freshly Pieced
Wow! I didn't expect the quilting, but I like it! Leaving the ghost cogs blank would make them stand out
ReplyDeleteI agree.........leave the ghost cogs blank or they will not show as much.
ReplyDeleteI love the ghost cogs! I'm a big fan of negative space, and you utilize it beautifully!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colours, and as above I would leave the ghost clogs to be themselves. Just popped over from Lets Bee Social, nice to meet you, and good luck with your move, doesn't sound like much fun :(
ReplyDeleteLove the quilting on this piece! Keep going, so worth it!
ReplyDeleteThat is one special doll, or girl, that will get a doll quilt with so much work put in to it!
ReplyDeleteI think this just keeps getting better. Love the "wheelie" quilting and I'm really digging the plain ghost cogs. Beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteVery impressive quilting. Although I am not usually an avid fan of "modern quilting" your quilt is changing my mind enough that I felt I had to comment. I think the pops of color coupled with the quilting texture variation is very very striking. Your skills may be making a fuddy-duddy quilter a convert.
ReplyDeleteThis is turning out wonderful. I assumed you would leave the ghost clogs blank - but if they were quilted, I would imagine little designs as if the fabric was there. (little fabric patterns). Darn those landlord for being what they are - just "no good". Sigh - I do hope things work out quickly and to your advantage.
ReplyDeleteI love how you changed the plain diamonds into those round-appearing shapes. Great job! This is turning out to be fun, isn't it? I'm sorry your landlord is a boogerhead.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your difficult move. Hope things get better. That doll quilt is coming along nicely.
ReplyDeleteI like the simplicity of this quilt and I also like that the different areas of the quilt are quilted differently. Part of it looks like sashiko.
ReplyDeleteDefinite Sashiko feel to the quilting - what a lot of attention to detail! Thanks for linking up to #scraptastictuesday!
ReplyDeleteit's looking fantastic! I love the ghost cogs and think you should leave them unquilted so they stand out.
ReplyDeleteHow interesting, I'm really taken by the ghost cogs too!
ReplyDeleteAren't those cute!!
