This quilt was so quick and easy to make. For the quilting I decided to do a swirly freemotion movement on the larger strips, and a straight line freemotion quilting on the thin strips. The photo might describe it better than my words?!
I used Brandon Mably's Brown Dapple to bind it, which I think frames it beautifully.Don't you love the back of it, just looking like a big patch of cabbages with roses thrown in!!! (you can probably tell from my blog name that I love cabbages....especially Kaffe's glorious, luxurious artworks...and as for his roses, Yum!!!). I didn't get the orange and brown stripe entirely straight on the back, oh well, I won't tell if you don't!
I'm really going to enjoy looking at this one thrown over the back of my lounge. It has been fun to use up some of the large florals from Kaffe, Philip Jacobs and Brandon that have been in my stash....didn't put much of a dent in it though!

I love the quirkyness of your back, don't worry that it is not straight, in a 100 years time someone will try to emulate that lol

That quilt is so beautiful! It is the kind that would make you happy to just see it! I love the assortment of fabrics that you put together.
What a beautiful quilt - I love the colors and the simple design! I also love the quilting! Sounds like you have a lot of Kaffe fabrics. Luckily there is no such thing as too much fabric!

All of your fabrics play so well together!
It turned out beautifully, Cathy! I adore the bed of cabbages on the back--really uses that fabric to good effect!! I've only been cutting it up in chunks but now need to find a way to show a LARGE EXPANSE of it. :-)
It is really beautiful love all those colours together. Love the quilting too. Pat yourself on the back. Love it.
That is just GOEGEOUS!!!! I can just see it draped over my red leather couch!! I think I need to make myself one:) I love the cabbages too, and Brandon's fabric is perfect for the binding. Fantastic job!!!
Incrediably beautiful. I LOVE the fabrics so very much. You did a wonderful job. You have every reason to be proud of your creation. So inspiring!!!
It's really gorgeous and I love the quilting you did! Just looking at it makes me want to cuddle right up in it! Need my address? :))
A picture is worth a thousand words. The quilting really adds to a fabulous collection of fabrics. Love the back as much as the front.
Sunshine on a cloudy day, fabulous colours Cathy.
