Todays quilt is the one from my blog header on my other blog, Adventures of Bear Creek Quilter. I call it JaAmy L. The name came about as the quilt is made with Amy Butler fabrics, the Jacob's Ladder block and quilted with a pattern I learned from Jamie Wallen.
Sorry about the lighting, it is a rather gray day here. This quilt is my entry into the fall BQF, a wonder internet quilt show. Now let me get back to explaining the pertainence to this blog. The block used to make this quilt,
This quilt is mine, I love it use, I wash it in the wash machine and throw it in the dryer. The backing is a large piece of muslin that I hand dyed purple. It gets better with every wash.
You can kind of see some of the quilting in the next few pictures, I tried my best to be able to share it with you. The quilting is done all freehand with no marking. It is just right off the hip, what ever comes into my head next. Hearts that are feathered, echoed, filled and swirls.
Enjoy and Thanks for visiting.
