The background of this quilt is Kona Medium Gray, and I quilted with an allover box stipple with 50 wt. Aurifil #2024, White. I like how the boxy quilting echoes the improv piecing and carries it into the background of the quilt, and I love the slight contrast that the white thread adds to the darker gray.
I included a quarter in the photo for scale because this quilting is really dense (for me, anyway). I used an entire large spool of thread on this lap size quilt, and the texture is really fantastic.
A rainbow backing pulled straight from my stash compliments the front of the quilt nicely, and the scrappy binding is an awesome contrast against the gray.
Like all of the patterns in the book, this one is a winner when it comes to versatility. Because you're using scraps, it's super easy to size these quilts up or down, or even change the colors to suit your own taste and stash.
Jess at Quilty Habit and Myra of Busy Hands Quilts each put their own spin on the Precarious pattern, and I can't wait for you to see them. Hop over to their sites to check them out, and then head to my Etsy shop to get your own signed copy of Stash Statement. Remember, it also comes with the FREE Take Flight bonus digital pattern. You can also find it on Amazon, Shop Martingale, or ask your local quilt shop to carry it!

ReplyDeleteLOVE this one, Kelly!! I may even have a stack of Crumb blocks waiting for a purpose. Now, if I only had a copy of your book!!
ReplyDeleteI really like this quilt. Starting to regret not choosing it. LOL
ReplyDeleteSpectacular!!! <3
ReplyDeleteReally like this one, and I love the rainbow of colour, although I can just imagine it all on shades of warm or all cool colours too. The book isn't available here in the UK just yet, not until the end of the month, so exciting.
