The tutorial can be found over at Jenny Allsorts. I wanted to try a crazy nine-patch, as well as crazy diagonal quilting.
A few photos showing the quilting.
I was glad I tried the crazy quilting, but I don't think it's something that I will use very often. It just didn't impress me.
My friend G was ecstatic to receive the quilt that she actually cried. I feel so good when my gifts are so appreciated. G recently had knee surgery so we had a little visit today. Her backyard is so lush and lovely, so I took the time for a photo shoot.

It's a cutie.
ReplyDeleteI was a little surprised to see this as a finish. Just like when I gifted Mme S-S's quilt, I remembered this one being finished long ago! It looks lovely with that green, green grass. I think the random lines might be more enjoyable to do on a smaller project. At least that's been the case for me!
ReplyDeleteI think it looks great! The best part is your friend adored it and yes, it is the icing on the cake when they do! I love the quilting you did Anja...You rocked it!
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely finish, Anja! Those crazy nine patches look like fun. That quilting is so straight! Did you mark those lines first?
ReplyDeleteA beautiful finish! Isn't it wonderful when someone so appreciates the quilt you made for them? :)
ReplyDeleteGreat finish! Looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteVery sweet, Anja. I know what you are saying about diagonal quilting, I am kind of ambivalent about it, but it does complement the funky angles on your nine patches. Glad your friend likes it, it is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh, that really is a lush backyard for a photo shoot. I think the quilting is pretty cool, a good compliment to the crazy 9-patch. Love that when a quilt is so very visibly appreciated. :-)
ReplyDeleteCongrats - that looks great. Love the idea of crazy straight line quilting!
