So I keeping singing to myself 'Hey Ho drunken sailor...' all the time but really don't think I can call the quilt something with 'drunken' in it. Mind you, Denyse Schmidt does it with one her patterns.... I'll have a think about it.
Anyway here are the pictures of the finished top. When I started laying it out on my floor this week I wasn't convinced at first as I thought it was to dark somehow but over the last days everyday time I walked past it, it grew on me. So much so that I was amazed when I took the picture earlier at how beautiful it is. Sometimes one needs a bit of disctance to appreciate ones handywork and that is best achieved with a photo.
Quilting will commence imminently !
Ohhh how lovely. I lust LOVE the color combo Red-White-Blue and I'm making a quilt for my bed in the same color combo, also with Westfalen fabric!

I just love the little touches of red to balance out the abundance of blue. Beautiful quilt.
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely, and does have a rather nautical air - especially the triangles, which are reminiscent of the flags fluttering from the rigging on boats.
