| Bejeweled From the book "All About Strips" by Susan Guzman |
It's not a really great photo, the colors are so much more vivid than this shows. The binding is the deep purple used in some of the "jewels".
The light blue backing also makes an appearance in the front of the quilt. It will probably be next weekend before I have a chance to get really good photos. Bejeweled is number two of four graduation quilts commissioned by Drama Teen that need to be done by May. So I'm half way there!
Finishing Bejeweled was one of my goals (that post is here) for the first quarter of the 2017 Finish Along. Poinsettias also got finished.

But Geometry didn't make it to the finished mark.

| Geometry, self designed |
But there was a lot of progress it went from finished flimsy to quilted. It will definitely show up on my list for the second quarter of the 2017 Finish Along. The label's not made yet, nor is the binding. There are still 5 evenings of sewing left in the quarter, so it might get done, but most likely not.

Your quilt finishes are just wonderful! I have made one of those offset diamond quilts too, love the asymmetry of it.
ReplyDeleteThese all are so awesome! It's been fun to watch Bejeweled go from start to finish over the last year. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat finishes! You have had a productive quarter.
ReplyDeleteYour two finishes are beautiful, and Geometry is so close! Maybe a little stitching each night will do it!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous quilts, Kate. You're so close on Geometry, you'll have it finished in time with no problem. You've been busy!
ReplyDeleteBejeweled is gorgeous!! I love the colors in it -- my favorites!! :)
ReplyDeleteLove Bejeweled. Those colors are so rich and vibrant. I have some of that fabric from Connecting Threads. Maybe you can finish Geometry. I am rooting for you.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Preeti.
Things are moving along at a steady pace and that is all one can hope for--
ReplyDeletemust feel really good to have gotten so much done--esp with the 2 big jobs, laundry and taxes to do--
enjoy the moments, di
Congrats on your finishes! I'm so happy to see you reaching your goals Kate! Only 2 to go! :)
ReplyDeleteLove your finishes! I have the same fabric from the Bejeweled quilt-waiting for the "perfect" pattern!
ReplyDeleteWhere did u get the black background fabric with the chemistry on it?
So great to have a bunch of finishes all together, and what a push you've had with DT's request. Once these are done you will have unlimited design walls again:)
ReplyDeleteWow! I would consider that a very productive quarter and you are so close on Geometry. All three are beautiful quilts.
ReplyDeleteYou've done great! You're so close to finishing four quilts, and how in the world is she almost ready to graduate?!
ReplyDeleteSuch a good feeling when those taxes are out of the way! Kudos for all you have accomplished this quarter. That is a good way to think of the year. Bejeweled is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteYou certainly had a productive weekend. All three of these quilts are gorgeous! I would have a hard time picking a favorite.
ReplyDeleteBoth finishes are stunning....but Bejeweled!!! Love!!! Thank you for participating in the FAL - on behalf of the 2017 Global FAL hosts.
