I completely forgot to post this quilt finished one week ago. It's the Quilter's Pallette II, which I mentioned on page one of this thread. All the fabrics are hand dyed by me. I made it while teaching a class (with permission from Annie Smith, who designed the quilt). The one I made in the online class with Annie is on my profile
I started to quilt my next UFO, the quilt started in a Kaffe Fassett class.

idaho OFFLINE Posts: 2531 Thank you received: 183	Rita...I think there will be a border...but but maybe not full on...will wait until it's sewn to decide ! Are you doing that applique by hand ? You do that sooo well.

Reetzbobeetz OFFLINE Posts: 4193 Thank you received: 209	You were thinking the same as me Marilyn! But it's when you start making the reels quilt that you really wonder! Are you doing the applique border? There's a lot of work in that too but I am hoping that it will be worth it when I EVENTUALLY finish it!

Well..finally found the pattern!

It is a design by the owner of a nearby QS .. http://www.GrannysAtticQuilts.com
in McCall, Idaho. It is called "Bedazzling Batiks" . I changed it a bit and added an extra row of border
as the little sq.s are made from the remains of cutting 6"sq.s down to 4" and they were extra..so to speak.
Mine finished 62"x72". I did use a black batt to avoid any chance of bearding on the blk.

Because of all
that color and black I washed with synthrapol and 4 color catchers two times !!! It is still losing some grey in the
water but won't sweat it now !!

And Yes ! I seem to be stuck in big mode for now...Reels quilt is on the
wall...and as I have 2 sets, it will be bigger than the original !

What was I thinkin' ?

!
