Karamozov Quilt - Tulane Windows Quilt

I dubbed this Windows Quilt the Karamozov Quilt because as I was piecing it a few months ago, I was listening to/reading The Brothers Karamozov.  Everybody needs some good Russian Literature in their lives now and then!

 The fabric is the Tulane line from Connecting Threads.  My favorites are the tapestry ones.

 I did some 'barn door' quilting on the rectangles and some fairly random large zig-zags on the background fabric.

 I put a sleeve on it, since it will be a class sample, and who knows, maybe it will need to be hung.  Easier now than later.

For now it's in the living room, being used.

The stats: 49" x 57"
Cotton batting
Black  Coats & Clark cotton thread quilted on top
Black Gutermann Polyester thread on bottom.


 

Windows Quilt in Ruby - Finish!

Well, for once in my life I am way ahead of schedule!

  This Windows Quilt is for the class I'm teaching.  In March!

 The back is flannel.  E helped me pick it out.  There wasn't quite enough of the pattern, so we added a stripe of plain turquoise down the middle.  This also gives a plain area to show off the quilting.

 The fabric is Ruby from Bonnie & Camille from Moda.  The squares are left from the layer cake bought originally from this hexagon quilt.  The white is left from that quilt and from Si's Windows Quilt (the original).  I did go out and purchase the turquoise berries for the sashing, which was (and still is) in clearance at the LQS.

 I did Free Motion flowers all over the quilt. 

 Finished size is 48" x 55".
E asked a while ago if she could have it.  I waffled at the time, but yesterday surprised her by putting it on her bed.  Big gut squeezing hugs for that one!

A pattern is in the works.  As soon as I figure out how to draw the diagrams.
