I am so pleased with the beautiful longarm work done by cute Judi of Green Fairy Quilts.
There isn't a pattern for this quilt. I took the baskets from one book, and the interior idea from another quilt, and the border from another.
I made every basket out of a Kaffe Fassett fabric.
Look at Judi's beautiful quilting. This is all free-hand stitch, and doesn't include any computerized work. I live just a few blocks away from Judi and am so impressed with her talent.
I used Texture Magic on several of the baskets to add some depth and interest to the quilt. It's also a great way to show an example of how easy it is to do needle turn applique with Texture Magic.
I also added Texture Magic to some of the outside circles in the border.
So beautiful Nedra! The quilt and quilting are both stunning. I love baskets as you know, but this one took my breath away!!! Hugs Nat
ReplyDeleteOh Nedra, this turned out just incredible. And the quilting is AMAZING. That Judi is so talented. Wow, wow, WOW! I would love to see this in person one day!!

It is a beautiful quilt indeed!
ReplyDeleteI don't know anything about longarm machine quilting, so I was wondering - is it you who specifies to the LA quilter what the pattern should be in the different blocks, borders, etc, or is it her that decides. Anyway, it is a most gorgeous result.
This is amazing! I love it! the design is great and the quilting...
