I wanted a big spool to be the center of my quilt back. Then, I pieced together 4 fat quarters left from my Mimosa fat quarter bundle.
I enlarged the Aurifil spool pattern ( by Charise Creates ) to create a 19" high Aurifil spool, loaded with "Mismosa" thread!

Close up of the back... of course I had to make an Aurifil Spool label, too!

This is the first time I used straight line quilting on a bigger quilt. I really like how it turned out! I used my walking foot, with the Edge/Quilting guide attachment, to make the parallel rows of quilting. (I may have copied Kristy's gorgeous Sew The Rainbow Quilt { go here} because it looked so awesome! )

This quilt was so satisfying to make and finish up! It has "sew many" of my favorite components... geometric design, scissors, spools, flying geese, a sewing machine, AND paper piecing !! Even on the dreariest of days, I can find a rainbow ....by looking at my Sew The Rainbow quilt !

ReplyDeleteSo many wonderful details in this quilt, Susie! I love all the spools but especially the big one on the back; wonderful fabric selection for them. Not to mention your patience to piece 4 scissors- wow! a quilt that makes you smile.
ReplyDeleteThis looks so amazing. What a great job you did, such a fun quilt and pattern. I love the back too with that giant Aurifil spool. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt Susie. You do such awesome work - no wonder Whiskers loves it.
ReplyDeleteSew gorgeous! I love how it turned out! Those scissors had better not catch up with the flying Geese!!!
ReplyDeleteThis turned out so pretty, Susie! I think the straight line quilting enhances the design nicely. The pix of Whiskers relaxing on the top is adorable!
ReplyDeleteWOW! Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteIts really beautiful and loe all the pictures!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Susie! The grey binding is perfect. Whiskers always makes me say "awwww" :)
