starts

my quilt

this is my house quilt. really. where i live, house prices are out of my world. so for me to have a house i have made one – a house on my quilt.

being a house quilt, i started with the house
needed some green to represent our lush neighbourhood – it’s a start
Some blue was added to represent the sky in amongst the green

Looking more like a quilt top with the sun, more sky both day and twilight at the top
added some water at the lower left and 3 bears
the sun was applicated to the quilt with extra layers of batting to give it more depth
here it has been quilted with a wool batting with the excess batting and back cloth laid out for a trim
for the binding, i used the blue that represents water
the finished product – it came together quit nicely
the back shows the different stiches that i used to quilt the water with waves

I did take this for a test nap yesterday and it was awesome, light and warm.
