I made another mini quilt. I can't help myself. I enjoy making them so much! In each one, I try something new. I am planning a bed size quilt using linocuts and with each mini quilt, I am trying out new techniques, piecing, quilting and ideas that will help me make decisions about the big quilt.
This time, I used pieces of batik left over from my underwater mini and a table runner that I made a couple of years ago. The print in the center is my seashell linocut on natural linen. This time, I tried out a new piecing idea with a square center design rather than rectangular.
I also tried some freemotion quilting on the linocut itself. I really like that and will do it again.
The back of the quilt is pieced as well in the same materials.
This one will be in my shop. Hopefully is it destined for a beach house. That's where I envision it hanging, hence it's name!
Once again, I'm in love! You are so creative!
ReplyDeleteLove how you put this together! and a great way to try out how a big quilt will look!!
ReplyDeleteAs usual, it is beautiful! Nice work, Amy!
ReplyDeleteAh! It's so cute!!! Love it!!!
ReplyDeletevery cute! I love the stitching on the linocut. it really makes it pop.
ReplyDeleteI love prints! Lino cuts are on my to do list (I love cutting in rubber... but the bigger you get, the more instable they are...) but lino is so expensive.. sighs.
ReplyDeleteThe mix of free motion quilting with the print is just perfect!
Amy, I'm loving your lino-cut mini quilts. What a great way to try new things.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! I love your lino cuts! I still have no idea where you find the time!!!
ReplyDeleteI think you need to put all these wee minis together for one drop dead gorgeous quilt!;)
