I feel like a bit of a fraud joining in with kootoyoo's creative spaces today, as I've made a big, fat nothing in the last month.
Nonetheless, I can now reveal to you the finished Green Monstrosity, which I finished binding and then delivered to my sister during a visit to QLD last month.
And frankly, after all my concern, I think it's looking pretty darn good, in its home environment.

Once again, check out the glorious quilting work of Karen from Quilts on Bastings:
And here's the backdrop, the rather verdant feature wall that my sister wanted the quilt to blend with.
Still not 100% my cup of slime tea, but for the recipient it seems to work just fine.
And now, I'm going to cruise the webs and see what inspiration for a new project I can find. How about you?
It has a granny rug kind of feel. Cherrie
ReplyDeleteIt looks gorgeous! Love the colours, they go so well in that room too.
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely and green! I think this will inspire me to have another look at my quilt, I abandoned ship when it got too messy! xx

ReplyDeleteJust lovely...I've been wondering how it turned out! So good to have you "back," Gina!
ReplyDeleteThat's the same colour we have on the kitchen wall. Not for everyone, I'm sure!
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt. It all comes together in the room. You've done a terrific job.
It looks really marvellous, Gina. You did such a fabulous job with it. I don't think it was ever a frog!!

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful work of art!! I'm sure your sister will cherish it forever.
ReplyDeleteit's amazing! i'm a sucker for all the green :)
ReplyDeleteWOW ... it is really green. I don't think I appreciated just HOW GREEN it is. The first shot up there startled me a little bit - it sure is green!!!
ReplyDelete... but next to the feature wall it looks great. It works.
Good on you for tolerating all that green - sisterly love hey? You're the bomb.

Point me in the right direction and a quilting I will go...So close, my fingers are poised, my eyes are narrowed, and my brain is making a funny little clicking noise. Quilting is definitely something I want to jump into.
ReplyDeleteAnd the green monstrosity is truly beautiful. Looks perfect in that room. ( I love green.)
As owner of green room and quilt, in defence of the green I would like to point out that the rest of the room is cream.... the photo doesn't probably give that sense of perspective :)
ReplyDeleteI love it. I cover myself with it most night when watching tele. It is gorgeous. Thanks lovely sister!!
PS LOVE LOVE the pics of No 2 in your latest post :)
