It's Friday! Lava Lamp Quilt

Image
So glad it is Friday and I have a finish this week!!          This was inspired by Jacquie Gering's version of a tumbler quilt pattern called "Lava Lamp Revisited" seen in the special issue of Modern Patchwork spring 2013.  This quilt is made from my stash. I actually won this fabric last year in a giveaway. (I already used it for a childs craft tote bag that I shared on here before). It is Michael Miller fabric designed by  Tamara Kate called "Flight Pattern".  Backing is a piece I also had in my stash from a line of Dear Stella. Worked perfect. just added some jumbo tumblers from a few pieces to compliment the front. Organic wavy line quilting to sort of go with the lava lamp vibe. Bound with scraps that fell off the sides and some leftover end pieces.  Finish size approx. 48" x 70". Flowers compliments of my husband for Valentine's day and they are still going strong! :) Linking up with Finish it up Friday

Finish it up

Well, I was hoping to have a complete finish today instead I just have a finished top. I am in slug-bug mode and can't seem to snap out of it. I did snap a pic of the top though so that is progress.   Tumbler blocks - Lava Lamp style from a older magazine which I will write about when I have my finish. The fabric is mostly Flight Pattern from Michael Miller. It is hard to see some of the light print fabrics but it is so joyful up close. I waited all day for the sun to shine and it was...? not sure what happened there.  Then I put up a few more Mod Olive QAL (sewkindofwonderful) blocks up and took a pic of my design wall.   Not sure how I am going to lay them out yet but I have half the blocks done so far. They are a bit tricky and I am not liking some of the seams but for now this is progress.  Linking up with Crazy mom Quilts HERE
