trois fleches


here is my September creation for Project Quilting's off-season Focus Through the Prism challenge:

trois fleches


"flying geese" were the inspiration block this month, and they are used to make the arrowheads. I used blue as my focus color, and added touches of purple and indigo for interest. I free-motion quilted the piece with royal blue thread, using stipples on the blue areas and straight(ish) lines on the arrows. the quilt is 20X20 and was made here in Central Pennsylvania. I didn't use a pattern, but based the arrow blocks off of this tutorial from Grace and Favour.

I usually like to get a daylight picture of my quilts, but since there will be no daylight before the deadline, the fluorescent lights in the basement will have to do!




bonus points to anyone who gets the reference in the quilt title: Trois Fleches. leave a comment if you know where I got it!
