Ukiyo - the Quilt


Ukiyo is finished.

(noun "living in the moment, detached from the bothers of life")

55" x 71"


This was the second quilt as part of the 2021 AHIQ Symmetry or Not challenge.

(the first quilt top was Pandemonium - later donated to Mercyful Quilts by way of Alycia during Hands 2 Help 2022)


No outdoor photos - just too darn cold thanks to Winter Storm Elliott.


I do love the binding (cut lengthwise from KF yardage).


Here Ukiyo is laying on the floor in the sunroom with late afternoon sunshine.


Quilted with Glide in Pink Rose using my liberated all over spiral fans.

Bringing Myself Up to Date


This is Concatenation ("a series of interconnected or interdependent things or events"), my quilt top from the AHIQ Color Palette challenge.

It measures 56" x 72" and is promised to our younger son once quilted and finished.
 

Here you can see the backing (upper left) and the binding (lower right).

You can read more about the quilt's story HERE on my blog or by using the labels in this blog's sidebar.


This is Pandemonium from the AHIQ Symmetry or Not challenge.  

I donated the top, back, and binding during the 2022 Hands 2 Help effort.

Alycia of Quilty Girl quilted and bound Pandemonium and then shipped it off to Mercyful Quilts.


Here is another photo of it finished.

And this is Forty-Six from the AHIQ String Tulip QAL challenge.

I also donated this top, back, and binding during the 2022 Hands 2 Help effort.

So this brings me up to date with three recent AHIQ challenges.

And I'll be back with another post next week to share the finish for Ukiyo, my second quilt from the Symmetry or Not Challenge.

Mostly Green AHIQ Challenge Quilt Saw Tooth Border Final Arrangement Decision!

My Mostly Green Quilt with Saw Tooth border arrangement.

 Hello AHIQ Friends! 

I've decided on the final sawtooth border arrangement for my Mostly Green Quilt and will now begin piecing the saw tooth border sections together. The piecing is a little fiddly but I'll get it done. 

I just finished a practice quilt top with a small hour glass blocks medallion and a saw tooth border. You can see it on my previous post@crazyvictoriana.blogspot.com.

Happy Holidays!
