I am addicted to texture.
...and still trying to find the right way to photograph a quilt with texture.
This was an older quilt top I finished awhile back and never had the courage nor the skills to quilt it as I would like. It's just a small one, a pattern I made up on my own.
I call her marmalade grey...because marmalade has all of those chunky bits in it to give it texture...

There really wasn't much of a plan, I just wanted to do something that had symmetry and a lot of texture in it. I especially wanted those little yellow sashings to sing.
A note: I used a 100% cotton sheet from Ikea for the backing. Like I had read and had been warned about...tension on the back is sometimes an issue with sheets because of the tight weave. I did experience this, but wouldn't completely stay away from doing it again either.
It turned out beautifully!!

Andrea, you artisty in quilting is amazing. I have a long arm, but decided since I am new at this craft, to learn to quilt on my sewing machine first, learning designs, creating depth and deciding how to quilt each area. This quilt is magnificent. Great job, one of the finest quilters I have seen.
