Get out of my head, dammit
As if having a puppy in the house wasn't messing with my sleep enough there has been a quilt brewing in my head, mostly at night. It was time to get the bloody thing out of my brain and into fabric.
It's little (about 12 inches by 18 or so, but I haven't measured it), and is made of eight or nine (I forgot to count) warm neutrals and a single pop of red. I'm going to hand quilt the bejeezus out of it in several neutrals and a gorgeous variegated red perle by Valdani that I picked up at the Festival of Quilts.
It's called "Analysis of Variance", in a nod to realjob (it's a statistical method). I can't believe that I have finally named a quilt. I never thought I would see the day.
Ha, an ANOVA quilt, lol.
ReplyDeleteLove the neutrals and red. Very curious how you choose to quilt it. How much red, etc. Can't wait to see. So, quick, hop to it :)
Gorgeous. Jill (in Sydney)
ReplyDeletethanks Jill!
DeleteThis is going to be stunning. I'll check back when it's finished
ReplyDeleteSome quilts are more persistent than others.:)
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how sometimes those quilts buzz around in your head at night, and you just have to get them out asap, or you'll probably never get a decent nights sleep again! I always find they are the more organic (i.e random) styles of quilt. I think it's going to be beautiful- really looking forward to seeing your hand quilting style on it!

This looks wonderful - are you going for a Boo Dilly's style quilting? Love that look and what a great idea to do it on a mini like this.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to see how you quilt this, very nice.
ReplyDeleteOMG - this is incredible Charlotte :) Loving it x
ReplyDeleteIt would translate to a big one very well too, I think! Likewise want to see the glorious quilting ! Very arty Charlotte and glad you have found a name!
ReplyDeleteOoooh that is very pretty; can't wait to see the quilting x
ReplyDeleteVery cool, looking forward to seeing how you quilt it :o)
ReplyDeleteooh, interesting - could apply an analysis of my own to this.... ;-)
ReplyDeleteThis is very arty (even if it does have a scientific name!). Like this a LOT x
ReplyDeleteReally gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYou are so clever, the contrast with the red fab:)
ReplyDeleteaww, bless you! Thanks!!
DeleteAs usual this looks just gorgeous. You are really incredibly clever.
