Ever since I finished my Pink Pluses Quilt I have been wanting to make a polar opposite version of it. Rather than soft and feminine, I wanted to make something bold and manly, all while playing with the same plus pattern.
Since my husband often speaks of how he loved the
pink plus quilt I made, I figured a blue-green version for him would make a great Christmas present.
While I originally imaged this quilt to have more blue and dark gray, I enjoyed the process of playing with the various tones and shades and I'm hoping my hubby will be happy with it too.
It's all basted up and ready to quilt. I have a straight line and FMQ combo in mind all prepped up for Saturday when I'm home alone!
Yep, it's a success! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteHe's going to love it!

ReplyDeletePerfect. If he doesn't like it, I 'll take it ;) And what's with the white stuff on the ground??

Beautiful! I love how you played with the colors…they seem to float together. Can't wait to see it quilted!
ReplyDeleteIt turned out so well! Love the colors you chose, and the way you clustered them. Beautiful work. :D
ReplyDeleteBTW, I took your advice that you gave me at Sewing Summit to heart. I finished up the back of my bento box quilt and I'm sending it out to be long armed instead of wrestling with it myself. Thank you for that moment of sanity I needed!
It is fantastic! Where is the pattern from? Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI looks awesome! Can't wait to see it finished!
ReplyDeleteLove it! It's just fantastic!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great quilt Kelsey, your husband is going to love it. Can't wait to see the FMQ/straight line combo you've come up with.
ReplyDeleteAh-mazing. He will LOVE it! It's great when the hubbies are excited about quilting, isn't it? :)
ReplyDeleteWow your hubby will be surprised with an amazing quilt! Love your choices of fabric and colors.
