This is the quilt I made for my nephew. He asked for Orange and Purple. I made a Rail Fence quilt from Sujata's book.
Some of the curves in my strips were a little more than "subtle,"
and I built the blocks to emphasize that craziness, after all the quilt is orange and purple, a color combination that has nothing to do with "subtle."
I made left leaning blocks, and right leaning blocks, then rotated and alternated them. At least, that's what I think I did. Anyway, the result is called "Lightning in the Night Sky."
and because this quilt is going to a college-bound kid,
I made sure to put his name on it.
A sensation.

Wow! That is a fabulous colour combination.
ReplyDeleteYou couldn't have picked out a better name for this vibrant quilt - just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLuke is one lucky nephew! Hope he treasures this gorgeous quilt forever!
ReplyDeleteLynne, It is absolutely amazing! The name you gave is just perfect. When I made rail fence, I was torn between the layouts.. That's another reason I had to add the possibilities section in the book. You did a fantastic job and Luke is a lucky nephew! Please add your name to the tags so when people are looking for it in the search-box, they have an option to search your posts by you. Thank you for posting it here.

ReplyDeletewow!
ReplyDeleteOk, I don't know if you get or see really late comments like this, but I could not pass this quilt up without saying, WOW! That is an awesome quilt. Never in my life would I have thought that I would want an orange and purple quilt, but I do now! I really want one exactly like this one! It is a great thing that you put Luke's name on it, because I think there would be some real temptation there :) hopefully, no one would, but it's better to be safe! You are a great Aunt! Now I need to go start sewing myself one...
