Tropical Garden Window
Description:
Tropical Garden Window - This is the first quilt I have made for myself.
I had some bright tropical print fabric I decided not to use in my Grandaughter's graduation quilt. I used the colors in it to determine the remainder of fabrics. Since I was limited by the quantity of this large print, I reversed the large and overall print in the pattern and am pleased by the result. I also added an extra 4 inch border all around so I had plenty of overhang and room to cover pillows on my bed. The squared are quilted with a varieagated thread in a tropical flower design and the sashes are a machine pattern stitch using the same thread. The lavender border is free motion leaves and the teal is large stipple.
I also made pieced,quilted valances for my two windows and two throw pillows with another in the works.
