Twice As Nice

This is Linda A's quilt, which is one of  the cover quilts on Kari M Carr's Twice As Nice book  

Linda has chosen different value for the sashing than the quilt pictured on  the book, so they do look quite different.

 


 This photo above is when I reached the bottom of the quilt and still had to go up the quilt again with the rose toned thread.  Also you can see in this photo that the bottom and outside edges were quilted differently to provide a visual border, on a borderless quilt.


 

Linda worked hard to make all those kite fabrics to face the same direction.  This quilt definitely has a top and bottom.  

And she reported it was also 'fun' to get those kite points lined up on opposite sides of the sashing.
 Wool batting gives such lovely texture.  And I see below the quilt is upside down, because the trees are upside down.

    I am not sure how I even found your blog but WOW, I love your work, it is exactly what I want to aspire too.
