"Breaking Away" by Me


I finished up my Tula Pink quilt last night.  Another idea out of my brain and into fabric.  I call it "Breaking Away".  It measures 48" x 50".  I always make weird sized quilts lol! Because I couldn't wait for the three missing purples to come in stock , I couldn't include every print from the "Eden"line, so there are only 22 in my quilt.  I have since bought the three missing purples and will make something else with them.


The quilting on this quilt is all in free-motion using my Pfaff QE 4.0.  Organic wavy lines through the purple at the top, then spirals through pink and organic wavy lines again through the green at the bottom.  I used a size 80/12 Superior Titanium needle with Wonderfil Tutti 50# variegated threads. I used purple thread TU18 on the purple strips and pink thread TU15 on the pink strips and green TU31 on the green. I adore how the purple, pink and green thread plays on the Kona Coal background, especially on the back. It's hard to capture it in a photo using my cell phone.


Feels so good to make a quilt and love every minute of it! 
Hope you had time to do something quilty today.

  14. I'd say you phone did a great job capturing that awesome quilting! This is another one that you could easily sell a pattern for, Linda. It's simple enough construction that people wouldn't feel intimidated, but unique enough a design for them to want to make it. Love it!
