this is a customer quilt pieced by karen w. it's the 'raindrop' pattern by judy neimeyer. it measures 70"w x 89"L. it is a full custom with LOTS of thread changes. it took 12 hours to quilt, most of that today. i'm a tired kwilter tonight!
this is a fun quilt to post (i'm excited) because *drum roll* i was given a really pale backing fabric so all the quilting shows!!!! i'm calling it 'elemental' because it reminds me of the four elements: earth, air, fire, and water. i kept the quilting close to my ideal of what they would look like- pebbles,leaves, and sprouts for the earthy colored fabrics, swirls and hooks for the water fabrics, firey flames for the red fabrics, and radiating lines for the air.
these are detail shots of the back....isn't it pretty? i'm pleased and very happy with it. i just hope karen likes it.
