I love making minis so decided to play with my version of orchid pink paired first with black and then with gray.
Bubblegum
For my first entry, I wanted to set the pink color so it would pop so I paired it with black. The black fabric is quilted densely and I used pearl cotton to emphasize the pink areas with some hand quilting. This quilt finishes at 10'' square.
I really like this quilt.
Ladder
With my second entry, my theme is simple. Simple shape, just a touch of color and quilting to echo the angle of the pink fabric pieces. This quilt finishes at 10.5"" square.
What a fun challenge this was!
In addition to Curated Quilts , I'll be linking up my minis with Freemotion by the River, WIP Wednesday's, Let's Bee Social, Midweek Makers. Needle and Thread Thursdays, Finish it Up Friday and Finished or Not Friday.
These are finish #1 and #2 for 2018. Happy New Year!
Have a wonderful day! Patty
Both quilts are really lovely, Patty. I like the hand quilting detail in the first and the touches of color in the binding of the second!
ReplyDeleteBoth are wonderful. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteWay to go, Patty!
ReplyDeleteLove the Bubblegum especially!
ReplyDeleteHi Patty
ReplyDeleteThe hand stitch on bubblegum makes it almost look like a basket weave. What a great texture.
Love the texture on that first one!
ReplyDeleteYou are very clever!
ReplyDeleteI love this! The bright pink, curves, and hand quilting are awesome!
