Topsy Turvy - The Quilt



Topsy Turvy (a/k/a Jungle Journey)
is finished!!

Created using the liberated house top method
shared in Gwen and Freddy's Collaborative Quilting book,
my Topsy Turvy quilt 
is made is the same manner as




Measures 67" x 67"

All photos will super-size for closer inspection.




Quilted by Chris Ballard.

Canna Leaves panto and awesome orange thread!





Younger son assisted with the photo shoot
in the sculpture garden near this building.

Windy and overcast conditions
turned into windy with rain 
in a matter of minutes,
which sent us scurrying for the car.





Thankfully we were able to get these photos,
many under the protective branches of a huge magnolia tree.





This double bench had an interestingly-shaped back.

High at both ends meeting at a low point
near the off-center middle.





We loved the size and texture of this massive tree trunk
contrasted with images of elephants in the quilt . . .




Here's the Quilt Album entry collage.

And yes, I am absolutely an eclectic quilt-maker!

Oooo, this is a wonderful quilt! Love those colors, and I love that quilting pattern too.

You must be tired of doing bindings, but so happy to have finished so many quilts. What a good feeling.
