KAPOWski quilt - Finished! This week, I finally finished a quilt that I started way back in the fall of 2016. I called this one “KAPOWski” - which was Cheryl Arkison’s suggestion - because we were joking about how the colours and design turned out feeling really 1990s and like the intro to the show, “Saved by the Bell” (which was one of my faves as a kid!) Quilty Details: * 48″ finished size* Improv curved piecing, started during a workshop with Cheryl Arkison hosted by the Ottawa MQG* Various fabrics in Kona solids and prints including Lecien First of Infinity, Carrie Bloomston, and Anna Maria Horner’s Loominous* Backing in vintage border print fabric I found at a discount fabric shop * Straight line quilted with a walking foot on my domestic Janome 8200 QC machineI’m so glad to have this one done, after it sat around for months half-quilted. It feels like a pretty big accomplishment, in a way. It’s been a lesson for me in letting go of perfection a little bit – and accepting that not all of the things I make need to be like “show quality” or “magazine quality.” I can just make things for fun, too! I think I’ll keep this quilt for me!Linking up this week again with Finish it up Friday.* * * For more on this quilt, you can see previous posts here:* Cheryl Arkison workshop* Finished quilt top * Basting quilt and vintage fabric * Quilting progress -- source link
