I finished my Puzzle quilt top and I'm so happy with the way it turned out. I've never made a quilt this way and I so enjoyed working with many different blocks and trying to figure out how to fit them all together.
These liberated pinwheel blocks are what started this whole quilt (you can read my post here) and they're definitely my most favorite part. I was planning on placing them right in the middle of the quilt, but somehow they ended up on the bottom.
You see, that was the thing with this quilt, the blocks seemed to be "telling me" where they wanted to go. I decided to just listen and let the quilt take its own course. I think it worked.
And, just for fun, here's the picture of Albert, our naughty Elf on the shelf. Our youngest son is really enjoying all the shenanigans this little Elf is getting into.
Linking up to Lee's WIP Wednesday.
Wow this is just stunning! Loveit and the little elf ;-)
ReplyDeleteSvetlana, this is AMAZING. I think it's my favorite thing you've made. It turned out so awesome! I wish you had a nice, bright, clear picture of it, because this beauty is going to get some serious internet love.
ReplyDeleteoh, maybe when it's a finish. I was so distracted by how much I love it that I didn't notice it's not done!
DeleteYou should be really proud of it. It's beautiful.

ReplyDeleteThis quilt is so lovely! I really like the colors that you put together. Yeah.. how are you going to quilt it? simple lines or loops or fancy patterns?
ReplyDeleteIt looks fantastic! You should enter it in the Blogger's Quilt Festival next year!
ReplyDeleteI like how you said the quilt blocks had a mind of their own and you just listened to them. You are really gifted at design.
