I am making progress on this
Improv Quilt Top:
I completed the top last October
while attending a quilt retreat in Idaho
The top is pieced from my hand dyed fabrics.
These are improv blocks I played
with back in the Spring of 2020...
I incorporated solid strips of fabric
to calm the piece down a bit...
Just love the luscious lime borders...
I pawed through the fabric cupboards
and found this blue for the backing...
I plan to hang this quilt, so I chose
Quilters Dream Green batting.
The quilt will hang straight and flat on the wall.
I have decided to do wavy line quilting:
I have quilted wavy lines
every 6 to 8 inches apart
across the top of the quilt...
this essentially bastes the layers together.
I will continue adding more wavy quilting lines
until I decide it is done...
I am out of time,
so this is as far as I get for now:
This will have to wait until another day...
Our mama cows surprise us
with new babies each day...
This is Golden Girl with her baby GoldiLox...
a chip off the old block !
We only have a couple of cows that
throw this beautiful blonde color.

Love the improv quilt - you were right to add the solids, they make order out of what could have been chaos! As soon as I saw the picture, I knew it was Golden Girl - beautiful new baby!! The blessings of spring with farm animals!!! Love seeing pictures of them!
ReplyDeleteMany Thanks Farm Quilter for your thoughtful comments! I dash out to the Thread Shed whenever I get some free time in between calving...fabric and cattle make me happy!
DeleteHappy Spring To You,
LuAnn
Hey LuAnn,
ReplyDeleteI love your work - it's so diverse! -and your stories. Is the elk still hanging out with the cattle?

Hey Maggie,
DeleteGood to hear from you again! Felix our yearling elk fed with the cattle in the pasture for about 3 months during the winter. He left about the first of March. He hooked up with an elk herd passing through. So glad we were able to experience his beauty so close up each morning as we fed the cattle....we won't soon forget him.
Happy Spring,
LuAnn
