Indie Vibrations Quilt


I'd like to share my Indie Vibrations Quilt today, pieced with Pat Bravo's Indie, Robert Kaufman's Essex and Kona, and a few shot cottons. Most of the solids were found at Marmalade Fabrics. The herringbone blocks are paper pieced using my own pattern. I decided to paper piece because I wanted the lines to be different widths and I wanted them to match up nicely. I thought I could do that best paper piecing.  


The quilt top measures 48" wide by 64" long.  I started scrappy on the left and increasingly added more linen and coordinating solids as I moved to the right. I used both color stories from Indie in this quilt-Moonlight Temple and Sunlight Bazaar.


The quilt is bound in Kona Navy with a little scrappy strip on the right side.


I love the way the quilting looks on the back!  The backing is Timeless Treasures Linen Look with a pieced Indie strip.  I quilted heavily in the linen sections and then used some straight line stitching in the other areas.  I made a free motion triangle burst sort of design in the"eyes" of the quilt.

Indie is now available! You can find it at the Fat Quarter Shop and Sew Fresh Fabrics.

  11. This came out awesome Amy. I love the way the quilting shows up on the back. I'm a big fan of having some areas of a quilt heavily quilted and others not for more depth and texture.

  35. This is lovely Amy, lots of work to do all of that paper piecing but totally worth it! What method do you use the kind where there is lots of paper to pick out or the freezer paper method? Either way, great job!
