Four Seasons



Well, I just dashed off another quilt.  It's called Four Seasons because its color scheme attempts to replicate the colors associated with, you know, the four seasons.

Gosh, isn't it lovely?  To read more about how proud I am of it, you can check out its story and specs on the quilt blog.

The quilting is neat. Really enhances the charming colorplay. Kudos!

Elizabeth said...

I quite like it, actually.

Me likes it a lot.

Oh, oh, I know how to do this now.

It's remarkable. Very fally, wintery, springy and summery, although not necessarily in that order, with all the pieces connected together neatly.

(I did better than last time, but may still need more coaching.)

Aviatrix: A good improvement in general, but you probably should have read the fine print before you popped out with "all the pieces connected together neatly."

Elaine said...

LOL....yeah, the joins do have that 'make it work' appearance, but keep in mind the Gee's Bend quilts. It's folk art!

There's a fuzzy line between "folk art" and "rubbish," of course....

Rebel said...

"dashed-off" indeed.

Aviatrix said...

Hmm, okay, I'll try again next time. So the trick is to say only enthusiastic positive things, but to avoid saying positive things about what the craftsperson has already declared to me negative aspects.

Also "first attempt at hand-quilting." There are machines that do quilting? That are not operated by children in Cambodia? I thought the whole point of quilting was to do it around and do it yourself.

Yes, they're calling "sewing machines." Although sometimes operated by Cambodian children, they are actually in general use in many places.
