I cut this little pile of Chicopee last fall thinking I would have a snuggly quilt in short order..
Well, it was stuck on my design wall off and on since then!
No progress!!
I finally bit the proverbial bullet and put it together, not really feeling much love for it.
After a quilting glitch, and some ripping..it's done!
I zoomed out this morning before yet another snow storm started up and snapped a few photos.
dusted the snow off the poor baby, and took a couple indoor shots!
I quilted off centre circles with Aurifil 28wt in red #2250 using the walking foot.
Some curvy looking things along the outer border with the FMQ foot.
Binding is a crosshatch with one small piece of the Chicopee.
The back is really minimal, with only a few triangles, and the rest is Kona Coal.
I love how the circles look on the back!
It's not really all that big at 51"x 55"
I sure am happy to have this one done.:-) :-)
Maybe I should give it a real name now! LOL!
...probably won't
...it will always be no name to me!
Here is a little something to sum up our weather...
It sure made me chuckle...
because it's so true!!

I think it looks really good !! And I love the quilting :)
Yesterday was one of those day when you think winter is over. And today, it was -5°C and it was snowing just a little bit. Summer, I'm ready for you !!
I think the quilt is gorgeous and the quilting and back really add a lot to the finished product. Sometimes I think it is a good to have a project that you have to dig your way out of :)
Sometimes people say that the only good thing about living in LA is the weather, but the weather makes living here totally worth it!
I really like the circular quilting...nice finish!
Beautiful!
I like to divide up winter, so that there is the part where it isn't so cold and you still care enough to wear a fashionable winter coat,and that part where you just try to stay warm.
Your quilt is beautiful.
I love it! Chicopee is possibly my favourite of all denyse's collections and I think you've used it beautifully. That red quilting is awesome!
Your quilt is fantabulous! Good on you for the circle quilting. Brilliant!
I think it looks great and I love the circular quilting lines.
Gorgeous quilt. What an awesome finish. Love the fabric, the quilting, the dark background. It's perfect. (sorry about yet ANOTHER snow storm)
love love love. Another triumph, Patti x
Your quilt looks great, Patti! Awesome quilting that makes the back wonderful to look at!
Congrats on biting that bullet Patti, it is gorgeous!
Very pretty . Love those fabrics.
I looks lovely, but I can't imagine lining up all those points. Nightmare!
Now do you feel the love? I do, I think it's awesome!
Your quilt looks fab! I think it deserves a name now. And your seasons pie chart made me smile - so true here as well :)
It's so pretty, Patti!! Very "modern" by all definitions. :-)
And that seasons thing made me laugh. We've had melt and then snow for so long…. My father's decorative deer were starting to pop out from the snow a bit but now, they're buried again...
Love this quilt. I'm hoping to put together a triangle quilt for the Solids Bee, so I'm stalking some beauties.
