Hello Everyone,
As promised, I am back with some Kaffe goodness. If you remember THIS post, I had completed just the top. Well, I am now completely done with this quilt and I just LOVE it!! The color, the design, just everything. So I wanted to share my quilt joy with you. I hope you like it as much as me.
We had a rather sunny day so I took advantage of the good lighting and took the quilt outdoors.
Here is the quilt draped across the deck railing.
A close up of the quilting. I just love the little ribbon inside the feathers. It was fun quilting this quilt.
Another view.
For the backing, I chose Kaffe's Asian Circles. It really just called for this print, as all the colors from the front of the quilt are present.
The binding needed to be darker to set the front of the quilt apart from it.
More of the quilting. You can see in the colors, I just quilted 1/4 inch in from the edge. I think that was all it needed.
The completed top. It will hang in my upper hall, just outside my studio for a while. My hubs asked me not to sell it just yet. But I am not sure that I want to anyway. I think the name of this quilt will remain "Riot of Color". What do you think?
I hope you enjoyed this Kaffe filled post! Next time, I am going to need your suggestions on a new project. I hope you will help! Don't forget to click HERE for more Kaffe goodness.
Until Next Time...

My mouth is still hanging open , that quilt is beautiful ! It looks like such a happy quilt you can't help but love it .
Dripping with gorgeousness. Amazing combo of color and quilting. Isn't that sweet of Mr. Canton Village to NOT want you to sell it.
OH my word, Jackie, the quilt is bright, shiny and says "summer" to me. The idea of it is so simplistic - stripes - but the overall effect of it is WOW!
I'd want to keep this beauty too! Marvelous!
What a great quilt!
MMMmmmmm! Beautiful! You should send a picture of it to the Kaffe site - it really is very nice :) And the quilting is perfect. Great job Jackie!

Oh, good job Jackie. You know how I love those Kaffes.
Oh, it's gorgeous! I just love quilts with bright, yummy colors and great fabrics and if they have colors that are gradient, I'm all over them!
It's nice that your husband wants to keep it, too, because it shows his wonderful taste in your work.
The quilting is GREAT! The piecing? OMG. I feel the need to accumulate more Fassett fabrics!
WOW! The colors are eye-candy! Love it!
OOOH! Love it! Julia is going to want one.
That quilt is stunning!
the quilt is so pretty and I love how you quilted it!

"Riot of color" is a perfect name. I can understand why you'd be reluctant to sell this one! I am a huge Kaffe collector. My stash is quite massive. My DD told me just last week that she thinks I should make up all my other fabrics before diving in to the KF fabrics...she wants to "inherit" them!!
the colors are beautiful and the quilting sets them off so well
What a happy quilt! I love the quilting that you did in the white. It really makes the quilt special.
that quilt is awesome..love the kaffe fabric. Also I didn't realize you had an online store...I just thought you did etsy! wow..when did that start?
This quilt is stunning and love the quilting! Well done!

It is so difficult to let each element of a quilt to shine on its own without competing with the other elemens of color, piecing, and quilting. I think you were very successful on this quilt with letting each element shine independently.
It's FABULUOS!
That quilt is so cheerful and I just love it.What a wonderful quilter you are too. I can see why you and your husband want to keep it. I think you should.
Hugs,
Sharon
