Abstract


This is my attempt at an abstract quilt, I think it turned out well
 but I want to continue to try even more abstract quilts soon. 


I had this orange material that looks very 60's to me 
so I thought it had to go on the back. This quilt makes 
me think of a Dreamsicle.


You can see I have two different colors on my binding.
 I wanted white on the back and orange on the front. 


I cut the orange material 1 inch and the white 
material 2 inches and sewed them together. That gave me a 
2 1/2 inch binding. It is very easy and looks nice too.

Gma Mac's Quilt

   

This quilt top was made by my Grandma Mac at least 
30 years ago, my mom hand quilted it for me last year 
and I finally got the binding put on. 


Mom did a great job with the hand quilting. Thanks Mom!


I wanted a white binding on the front (I actually used Kona-snow)
but wanted a little color on the back. I went through my mom's 
material and found a brown material with some different colors 
running through it and it is probably 30 years old. I really like how 
it turned out, just enough color and pattern to make it interesting.


This is where the quilt is now, I love the color it adds to my favorite chair.
