I am a big fan Marie's quilts who blogs at the Quilting Edge. She has a unique way with fabric and loves to use stripes. This quilt here is my favourite of hers. She also has a fantastic quilt-as-you-go technique that I am keen to try out. You can find a tutorial on her blog. Her quilts have inspired me to stock up on more stripy fabric and I bought a somewhat indulgent stash of Kaffe Fassett stripes from Glorious Colours. God, this stuff is marvellous and feels so so soft. I want to combine this with my already existing stripe stash from my Oakshotts into a quilt inspired by Marie's work.
Goodness - I suppose the stripes make it look way more complicated than it really is - can't wait to see if you do it x
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link to Marie`s blog - what amazing quilts, and that one in particular is amazing. Lovely fabrics - got to love the Fasset!
ReplyDeleteI too am totally in love with that quilt! She has a great eye for colour and I also have a love of stripes but cannot compete with your stash!
ReplyDeleteThese look great. I love stripes!
ReplyDeleteAren't her quilts breathtaking? I'm slowly building my stash of Fassett stripes is the hope of trying her QAYG technique someday. Your stash is looking great!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the wonderful mention of my work.
ReplyDeleteWow, I love that quilt and your stripes! Will be watching with interest!
