Sorry for the long hiatus. I had to pack up my apartment, move to a new one, unpack, pack for an 8-day trip to CA, go on said trip, come back, go to a wedding, and clean the old apartment so I can turn in the keys. Whew! The good news is I have a new sewing room, all to myself. I am ecstatic. There will be pictures once it's ready. In the meantime, I can finally show the quilt that I made for Manuela for the ICE challenge with the Chicago Modern Quilt Guild. It was super fun coming up with a design--I made so many sketches and finally ended up with what I had thought originally.
I couldn't shake the cathedral idea. That block just really reminded me of those beautiful cathedrals in Europe.
I had a lot of fun with the quilting on this one--I tried pebbles:
And made fluffy clouds!
And I had to have some wonky little trees!
I am not thrilled with the cathedral window, but here is a close up anyway:
And finally, the back.
I hope you like it Manuela! I had so much fun making it.
