Happy Friday, quilters! I've been meaning for a while to you show off this non -CiL quilt I made for a friend. You know I don't make many personal quilts these days.
This is for a friend who love succulents. I started with a focal fabric with the cactus pattern, then chose solid fabrics to pull colors from time patterned fabric. For quilting I did vertical stripes to echo the ridges on cactuses.
It felt like a the triangles I cut should have made a bigger quilt! I guess that's always the case.
Spring is springing here. We have green tomatoes and tiny cucumbers growing but not ready to pick yet. I know soon enough we'll have more than we can possibly eat
For the backing I used this fabric panel with some ombre fabric. I really like all the colors in the succulent blooms. I'm happy to say that the quilt was well received and is already being enjoyed.
Orange boys being orange. That's Stuart on the ground and Fudge climbing.

The cactus quilt is absolutely beautiful. All the colors go so well together & it is such a warm, rich looking quilt. Your quilting was perfect & your friend will be so pleased to receive it. Well done, Kat....VERY WELL DONE!!!
ReplyDeleteThe "orange ones" seem to get along so well. They are such fun to watch.
This quilt turned out gorgeous, Kat! I know what you mean about the triangles seemingly like too many and not enough at the same time. The ones at the ends of the rows always flummox me but yours look perfect.
ReplyDeleteAnd all the pretty colors are the cactus blooms:) Nicely done!
