I had been wanting to make something with words a la Tonya Ricucci, so I decided the Serendipity direction meant I should do just that. The phrase "What could happen?" is sort of a family motto and/or running joke for my family and it seemed to go with the whole liberated challenge. I made the words then didn't like the way it was going together with the rest of it. So I took off the sawtooth border and moved it to the top and added the lime green swoosh at the bottom to balance it out. Then I added the green stripe border and machine quilted it. The quilting is far from perfect, but I still love it!
It is 24 x 18 1/2 inches.
I LOVE it! In my life, it's "what's the worst that could happen?", LOL! The dark background of the word strips (and that little binding) really make the design pop!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely outcome -- colors, design, words all together make a terrific quilt!
ReplyDeleteI love this! It's fabulous...the colours, the words, the design...all fab!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm really happy with how it turned out and I got to try some new things, which is always fun.
ReplyDeleteLove the punch of that lime green! Wonderful quilt. Now you have me thinking--we've always said, "It's our regular unscheduled crisis," when things happen. Maybe I need a word quilt for that. Wonderful use of many ideas that you've pulled together with such great style.
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt! It's so vibrant with the green. your letters are perfectly imperfect! I love that word- Serendipity. It's the name of our family cottage.
