Farmland - September’s Kitchen Table Quilt

Farmland is finished!

64" x 64" 

September's kitchen table quilt was quilted 

with Glide thread in Military Gold (top)

and a wide variety of neutral Glide threads

in bobbins leftover from previous FMQ projects.

I used multiple FMQ motifs including organic lines,

both straight and wavy, my liberated all-over fans, and

a lot of letting the fabrics inspire the quilted lines.

(a single all-over design just did not

suit the inspiration concept of patchwork 

farm fields as seen from the air . . . )

The quilted texture is wonderful on the front -

but hardly shows at all on the back.

I am very happy with the way Farmland came together.

After a trip through the washer/dryer 

to enhance the quilted texture,

Farmland will take up residence 

on our kitchen table later today.

“The colour with which nature has tinted the background of all her pictures, green, is the most suitable ground for other colours. It unites wonderfully well with the yellow and blue which have produced it; it heightens red, and there is no flower or ripe fruit which it does not set off to greater advantage... it is both gay and modest, bright and tender. Green can only awaken amiable and gentle thoughts, remembrances gracious as those of spring, and other promises of nature: green gives repose to the mind, as it does to the sight.”
