The pop of green brings this piece to life. Being as green is my favourite colour it makes my heart sing. You can read more about the piecing here.

I didn't add the ring of black and white around the compass before adding the white corners. I'm saying it was a design choice at the time and not that I may have forgotten to add it. Yup design choice! You can read about my pattern choice here.

I was uncertain as how to quilt this piece. I knew I wanted straight line quilting in the compass points, other than that not sure. Once I started quilting it came together and I am happy with it. I used Aurifil #2692 on the black and white, Aurifil #2024 on the white and for the green Aurifil # 1231. I used Quilters Dream cotton as I like how it hangs in a wall hanging.

I like feathers, and quilted them in the white corners.

My backing was pulled from my stash, it is Shabbylicious by fabsraps. I am not certain how long this piece resided in my stash.

ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful, Cindy, and congratulations on your win. The quilting compliments the design and is fun to see on the back.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Cindy. The quilt is so pretty. Green is my favorite color also.
ReplyDeleteThis is AMAZING!!! Congrats on winning the grand prize! You made this pattern sing with your choice of fabrics and that fabulous quilting.
ReplyDeleteA perfect accident indeed (errr, I mean design choice!) I think it is much more appealing without the ring. Congrats on your grand prize. I would say it's well deserved.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love your design choice, too! :-)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, you deserved the prize! ��
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. It's a great piece. We had the same weather. It was like spring yesterday and then cold today.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, the piecing and quilting. Of course, green is my favorite color.
ReplyDeleteFirstly well done on the finish and secondly well done on the win! I loved seeing your quilt come together. I admire your patience with all those little pieces. And the green works so well with the monochrome. Blue is my favourite colour but the green really pops out here.
ReplyDeleteThis is just gorgeous Cindy, and very fitting for a home near the shore of our beloved Lake Erie. :-) Exquisite piecing and quilting just icing on the cake. :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful piece! The pop of green really ups the WOW! factor. Congrats on winning the grand prize, and on finishing your quilt :)
