Hi, and welcome if you are visiting from the Bloggers Quilt Fesitval! I have chosen my Denyse Schmidt "Plus" quilt that I made last year for this BQF.
After collecting a virtual rainbow of the newly released Australian and US Denyse Schmidt fabrics last year from Picnic and Fairgrounds, Salty Aire, and Winding Roads,
I decided to make the Plus quilt using a mix of fabrics from the ranges and arranged them in a kind of colour gradient pattern which I really love........
There are about 55 different fabrics making up the Plusses, which are a combination of rectangles and squares.
I just echo quilted it across the rows on the long side of the rectangles......
And bound it in a pretty blue print that seemed to go with a lot of the fabrics. It measures
61 x 74 " .
Thank you so much to Amy for hosting the BQF so that we can share and enjoy so many lovely quilts from all over the world on one place.
Kirsten.
