I have been looking at all the quilts and enjoying the stories, so I thought I'd enter something of my own.
I give you...the Birdie stacked coins quilt with texture!
Because this quilt is so linear, I wanted to do something different with the actual quilting. A friend suggested soft waves to calm the feeling and I heartily agreed. I went a step further and thought about adding texture. I love the way a quilt puckers after the wash, but I wanted this one to really stand out. So, I bumped up the tension/pressure foot and started quilting . . .check out that texture!
Here's the back:

ReplyDeleteVery pretty and a nice twist with the quilting!
ReplyDeleteI love the back, you should make a quilt where the front is like that. The simplicity of it makes those blocks just pop out and it's awesome.
ReplyDeleteNice softening of the straight piecing. Clever. Glad you decided to share.
ReplyDeleteYou know what, that's a great idea!!! Everyone seems busy trying to make everything flat; pressing seams open, quilting quilts to death with close lines. For me, quilts ARE about texture just as much as colour and this one looks outstanding!
ReplyDeleteLove those crinkles! Great job with the quilting.
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of stacked coins. So simple and yet so effective.
ReplyDeleteI love the quilting you chose for it- I did something similar on a stacked coin quilt earlier this year. It's the perfect offset for the geometry of the rectangles.
Lovely.
I colori delicati e i motivi semplici sono quelli che preferisco.

ReplyDelete!!!
It's wonderful. I'm not a pastel person.
ReplyDeleteLovely quilt and interesting technique with the quilting!
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt! The colors are so fun (love the Birdie fabric line) and the quilting really adds a great touch with all that texture.

Lovely colors and great quilting!
ReplyDeleteI love stacked coin quilts, a simple design but very effective and the quilting gives it lots of texture. A fabulous quilt.
ReplyDeleteA pretty version of Stacked Coins. Great idea for deliberately creating texture.
