Cette courtepointe est terminée. Commencé pendant les vacances d'été, elle fut réalisé en 3 mois, pas mal. Le piquage a été plus long que le pièçage. Et je l'adore. Et mon chum dit que c'est sa préférée. Cette courtepointe sera offerte à Noël à ma tante, donc elle quittera ma maison. Snif.
This quilt is done. Started in summer vacations, it was completed in 3 months. Not that bad. Quilting took longer than piecing. I love it. This quilt will be gifted to my aunt at Christmas so it will leave my house. Sad.
Piquage / Quilting
Les fils utilisés sont un vert très pâle dans les pétales et un blanc dans le fond. Je suis très contente de mon choix. Le vert pâle fait très bien ressortir les tissus unis et ne dérange pas trop dans les tissus bleus.
J'ai regroupé les pétales par groupe de quatre et j'ai fais le même motif dans chacune. Au total, 30 motifs différents pour 120 pétales. J'ai piqué des "paisleys ouverts partout dans l'arrière-plan, motif que j'aime et qui est très rapide.
A very light green thread is used for the petals and a white thread was used for the background. I'm vey happy about my choice. The light green thread really look great on solid fabrics and do not disturbed too much on blue fabrics.
I regroupes the petals by group of four, and quilted the same design in each of them. A total of 30 designs for 120 peels. I quilted opened paisleys in the backgrounf, design that I loved and that is really quick to do.

Endos / Back
Le tissu de l'endos cache très bien les imperfections de piquage. De fait, je trouve qu'il les cache un peu trop, on ne voit rien du tout. Note à moi-même, la prochaine fois prendre un tissu un peu moins barbouillé.
The backing fabric hide really well all imperfections. In fact, it hides them a little bitt too much, we can't see anything. Note to myself, choose a fabric a little less fuzzy next time.
Congratulations on your wonderful quilt!! Great quilting - I can understand why it took so long. Your aunt is a very lucky person to receive such a treasure! Barbora
RépondreSupprimerThank you. I choose a piecing that was quick, giving me more time for the quilting.
SupprimerSo airy! I love the simplicity of your quilt but I don't think that it was simple to make! I hope that your Aunt appreciates it!
RépondreSupprimerThank you. Airy, that's cool. I wanted a mix of modern and classic. I think I achieve it.
Supprimerhere from sewfreshquilts. Stunning quilt you have there. I love all the different motives.
RépondreSupprimerThanks from stopping by. I looked at your blog. Wow,you are able to achieve a lot with three young kids. I have two, and my passion for quilt increase when I had the kids, and no longer free week-end to quilt all day long.
SupprimerI love the quilting. I can agree with your friend who said it was his favorite that is very beautiful.
RépondreSupprimerThank you. Usually, he doesn't have much an opinion about them !
SupprimerLove your quilt!!!! The quilting on it is beautiful! Your aunt is very luck to receive such a wonderful gift.
RépondreSupprimerThank you. I really like your "hearts" quilt. My boy said the cat was more prettier. He'll learn.
Supprimerbeautiful quilt! Love the colours you picked
RépondreSupprimerThank you. These are not my usual colors, but I really love the result.
SupprimerIt looks wonderful, well done I am sure your Aunt will be thrilled with her present.
RépondreSupprimerThank you. I hope so.
SupprimerJe suis sûr que ta tante va être ravi de recevoir un si beau cadeau et, plus important, fait par toi. Le piquage est superbe. Beau travail Chantal!
RépondreSupprimerMerci beaucoup. Au pire, si elle ne l'aime pas, je la garderai pour moi ! Merci pour le piquage. Mes lignes droites en FMQ commencent à être droites. J'ai une nouvelle machine, avec plus d'espace, je crois que ça aide. Tout d'un coup, on dirait que j'ai "monté d'un niveau" sans effort. Chanceuse en Floride, ici on goût aux vents froids d'hiver depuis 2 jours, brrrr !
Supprimerc'est très jolie, le piquage est belle!
RépondreSupprimerMerci. Good luck with your Orange Peels too !
SupprimerPart of the texture! Oh my....
RépondreSupprimerYeah, I know !
SupprimerWow, votre choix de tissus est vraiment super! J'adore ton quilting aussi. Votre tante est très chanceuse!
RépondreSupprimerMerci beaucoup. Pour un choix de tissus commandés en ligne sans les voir en personne, je suis vraiment contente et très chanceuse.
SupprimerSad...but your aunt will be so happy!! Gorgeous quilting!
RépondreSupprimerThank you. Congrats on your winning in Blogger's festival.
SupprimerC'est belle! I love the orange peel design and to see it in such lovely colours! Trés bon!
RépondreSupprimerThank you for the compliments in French. I added you to my reading list. I really like your Fat Quarter Fizz. I just teach a FMQ workshop at my guild and the first tow designs I showed were the loop and the daisies. And you combined both. I will send them a like to your blog so they can see this mix in action.
SupprimerVery pretty. I like this a lot and your quilting is so varied and clever.
RépondreSupprimerThank you. And thank you for taking the time to write to me.
SupprimerThis is gorgeous!
RépondreSupprimerI love the colors.

Thank you for visiting
SupprimerFélicitations Chantal! Ta courtepointe est magnifique et le piquage aussi.
RépondreSupprimerMerci beaucoup. Merci pour le Blogathon !
SupprimerThe quilting is amazing on this lovely quilt, Chantal! I love that your brother thought the textures were part of the fabric. Your aunt is going to love this! Nice finish!
RépondreSupprimerThank you. Yes, the question about texture was really funny. I think it means that the quilting is successful.
SupprimerYour quilt is beautiful and I love the colours! Visiting from SK. ^^
RépondreSupprimerThank you. I saw your blog previously in the week. I'm always in admiration for people who do embroidery. That's simply not for me. I had just embroidery some quilt labels. And that was it.
SupprimerHi Chantal - what a lovely fresh quilt! The quilting is beautiful and if it doesn't show on the back at lease it shows on the front!
RépondreSupprimerThank you. Next time I'll try to remember that, yeah !, I'm not a newby anymore, I can use a near solid backing to display my "skills". Thanks for stopping by.
Supprimerit is a lovely quilt…sad it is leaving your house
RépondreSupprimerThank you. The label isn't sewn yet, I can still change my mind ! I won't do that. But I like it very much. Maybe she won't love it and give it back to me.... I won't put too much hope in that. BTW, I really like you lizards quilt. They look so animated.
SupprimerYour quilt is beautiful... I love the colours and the quilting is awesome!!!
RépondreSupprimerThank you. I'm happy with my choice of colors. I think I will work with more solids in the future.
SupprimerC'est tres beau! J'adore les couleurs
RépondreSupprimerMerci. Is that Google Translate, I doubt, there are no mistakes (apart the missing accent).
SupprimerYour Elsa's dress is really pretty. I already used that kind of fabric, in grey, to sew knight costume. I ended up too sewing by hand.
Love the colors! What a lovely quilt!
RépondreSupprimerThank you. This quilt colors are similar to your last quilt, funny !
