I really loved the whole process of making this quilt- from the design, to making the quilt, to the pattern writing. In fact, the pattern for this quilt was my very first!
I decided to name this quilt Acadian Trellis. Acadiana is Louisiana's Cajun Country, and I thought this name was fitting because the vibrant colors against the lush green remind me of the summery colors of the gardens in my home state.
I used Amy Butler's Cameo collection in this quilt, and I just couldn't get enough of it (y'all know I'm an Amy Butler fanatic), so I decided to piece the backing with wide stripes of the same collection. And, even more Cameo in the scrappy binding!
Kelly, this one is a stunner! I love the AB fabrics on white. Beautiful work - congrats!
ReplyDeleteThis one is so unique and I love the colors/fabrics you used. I'm truly drooling over this one. Fabulous job. Love it!

ReplyDeleteCongrats on the publish. I love the quilt. I have some Amy Butler fabrics that I plan to just cut into squares and sash and offset them. I made baby quilts for my brother's twins with the pattern and thought it would be a great way to showcase her fabrics. BTW, I met Amy and got her autograph at the Festival of Quilts recently in Birmingham, England. It was a trip of a lifetime.
ReplyDeleteI understand that you are proud. Who should´t be :-)
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful with all its colors.
Congratulations on your first published pattern - it's a winner! I love Amy Butler fabrics, too. :)
ReplyDeleteI saw this quilt in the magazinie and loved it! I didn't look to see who had made it - which I usually do but I'm not surprised it's you. It's such a lovely quilt and the fabrics are perfect. It definitely makes me want to make it.
ReplyDeleteThis one and the flying geese quilt were my two favorites in the magazine. Your work is beautiful.
Wow! Everything about your quilt is beautiful...the fabric, the pattern and oh, that backing! Great job. Is the magazine the only way to get the pattern?
ReplyDeletethank you so much! Yes, currently the publisher has the rights to the pattern, so if you want it now, you'll have to get the magazine!

Absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt's stunningly beautiful! Congratulation on your quilt publication!
ReplyDeleteHow awesome, Kelly! It's a beautiful pattern. I grew up in Nova Scotia, which is where the Acadians lived before being deported to Lousiana in the 1750s.
ReplyDeleteFabulous Kelly!!
ReplyDeleteA really beautiful quilt. I love Amy Butler too and you have made her fabrics really sing together here. The pieced back is ace too.
