In Duo, I used all Tula Pink prints for the postcard 'fronts' and a variety of text prints and gray solids for the 'backs.'

Quilting was done with vertical organic straight lines, much like the first time, with matchstick quilting down the gray solids, all with Aurifil 50wt #2021 (Natural White). Tula Pink's aqua chevron strip from her Salt Water line made a nicely coordinating binding.

The quilt finishes at 36"x48", and I took the last stitch on the binding while on a car trip to Eastern Washington last weekend. It seemed apropos to do a quick little photo shoot at a winery along our route.

ReplyDeleteWho's the recipient of this delicious (wine or no wine) quilt? Looks like you found an inspiring spot to even write a few postcards!
ReplyDeleteI love the Quilt and the site of grapes.. the 2 just go together...
ReplyDeleteDamn, you beat me to a Foxfield one! That's what I was planning to use if I got to this pattern
ReplyDeleteWhat a pleasant way to view a quilt. That postcard quilt block sounds interesting. A great way to make a scrappy quilt.
ReplyDeleteI love the selection of fabrics here and how you don't repeat any of the colored ones. Congratulations on a beautiful finish!
