So I got to work completing this quilt top. I had decided to make this quilt by Doug Leko in Fall 2017, I think. This pattern uses panels for 5 of the blocks. I had these kayak and camping panels and I wanted to try to use them. The house block was from a different panel, but I thought they went together nicely.
My husband and I purchased kayaks a year ago and we love to go kayaking. Plus we go camping a good many times throughout the year. This is my finished quilt I just completed last weekend. I am looking forward to using it on our camper this Fall because we have two trips scheduled in October. It is a bit small for a bed, but it should fit nicely on our pull-out couch in the camper.

Sometimes it's a little difficult to use panels in a quilt but I always seem to be buying them. So for the back, I have used a different Fall leaves panel. I thought this went nicely on the back with the backing fabric that I purchased.
I quilted a wavy lines quilting that I was able to do using my walking foot. I am mostly a walking-foot, straight-line type of quilter. But I have been trying a few different ways to quilt lately.
I saw this wavy quilting in a quilt magazine and it seemed easy to do. Then I got out my Walk book by Jacquie Gering and this method was described in there. I think it gives the quilt a nice texture. When I had some of the wavy lines quilted, I laid the quilt on the floor and my husband and I both thought that it kind of resembled movement of wind, also, which kind of fit for a windy Fall leaves quilt.
You can hang out on my swing outside with my brand new quilt and have a cup of tea, if you'd like.

Your house quilt is just beautiful, and I love the design. I really like Doug Leko patterns and have a few bookmarked.
ReplyDeleteI have several panels in my stash and thought I would use them at some point. They are all still in my stash. You've given me a good idea on how to use some of them!
