Minnesota Hot Dish Quilt

This is my customers first quilt. I tried to get a photo where you could see the great background I did on this quilt.


I never like using the Rainbow or Lava thread. I am a total tone on tone kind of girl (I worked tone on tone into the the black background). But... I must say this looked pretty good in person and I am proud of how it turned out. I did the feather wreaths on all the colored squares. I then followed the long cross on the quilt with a whimsy little leaf. I think it probably looked better in person than these images show.


The feather was dependent on the size of the cross. I think it worked out in the end and I liked how it gave the blocks some attitude.


Then I had the piano keys that I just did a row of feathers on. I think the color of the thread worded out and I did get a little goofy in a couple places, but I think they still look good.


Another partial photo.


Here is the whole quilt. I can't wait for summer when I can get some better photos. I am totally not able to get the great background on this quilt.


Living the dream, one quilt at a time. Thanks for looking.
