This is Noelle and Keenan's wedding quilt. They were married last March, and so they got their quilt for Christmas. It is one of my favorite quilts to date. A lot of piecing, but I really like this soothing color palette. Noelle wanted cool blues and grays. I bought most of the fabric at Quilted Threads and Cobblestone Quilts, and I supplemented with some Japanese fabrics I already had.
The block is Rolling Stone - such a good old fashioned graphic block. I tend to add a little sashiko stitching to all of my quilts -
Noelle wanted one red block. This print (fussy cut) reminds me of her childhood artwork;)
The quilt lives in Raleigh NC with Noelle and Keenan.

SO BEAUTIFUL!! I know they love it; definitely worth the wait. The photo settings just add to the beauty.
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is so beautiful. Nice job. Hugs
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is so very gorgeous! I love everything about it, from the fabrics to the subtle sashiko accents, to the sweet red block. Perfect!
ReplyDeleteI love the beautiful quilt you made! I love the red block too. Hugs,
ReplyDeleteI love it, too! Is the rolling stone a traditional block? Because it looks very contemporary, don't you think? The blues and grays are perfect - very crisp and clean. Simple block repeat (which I love) yet the sashiko and the red block identify the quilt as uniquely yours. Beautiful job!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the prettiest Rolling Stone quilts I have ever seen! Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous quilt! I just love the blue/gray color scheme and the one red block and the sashiko stitching is the icing on the cake.
ReplyDeleteI recently saved some pictures of a vintage quilt on ebay that I want to make that uses this block as the center medallion. I was trying to decide on a color scheme and now I know what I'm going to use! Thanks! Now I just have to figure out the math for it and the rest of the blocks.
