The orange quilt top is finished! Hopefully by tonight it will be a finished quilt.
Each strip was cut 1.5" wide. The quilt measures 61" x 61." There are 60 rows.
The center has reddish orange prints, fading out to light orange, light green, yellow, and then stark white. I particularly like the 5 black dots. This quilt has solids, prints, batiks, dots, stripes, ikat dots, Kanji, calligraphy, black and whites, solid white, hand-dyed orange fabrics, novelties, and an orange and white "tiger stripe" fabric designed by Jennifer Paganelli.
There was a lot of tweaking in this supposedly random design because I wanted the colors to fade softly, not in chunks. This quilt looks especially rich and warm at night with a lamp nearby.
This quilt was made to order for a customer in San Francisco, CA.
Gorgeous! My favorite color.
ReplyDeleteI love orange too and this type of quilt is lovely!
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHow interesting this quilt is! I had to come get a closer look because the thumbnail makes it look like crayon scribbles. (scribbling to get the other colors off the orange) Well, a closer look tells me I love the other colors on the orange! Especially those pops of black dots! Cool design!
ReplyDeleteSimple and so STUNNING!
