The Gypsy Wife BOM

Posted by on
And so I have finished the Amitie BOM The Gypsy Wife.  A year of wild riotous fabrics and blocks from the quilt design genius that is Jen Kingwell from Amitie Textiles in Melbourne.  It's a crazy paving kind of a quilt so I just quilted in horizontal lines and bound with a black blender.  And even on a dark rainy day in the UK, it's pretty bright.  Which is how I like my quilts these days.

    I meant to say THIS quilt, not his quilt, or is it HIS quilt?

    So glorious, reminds me of 60s abstract art where the paint is poured on the canvas, love it!

    It really is absolutely wonderful. I am waiting that they are providing a pattern for this one. I had contemplated to join this year's Bom but in the end decided against as I actually didn't much like the little per-views. Typical just when I decided I do it...

    Fabulous, and love how the colour looks like it's running off the bottom, especially with that grey sky in the background, almost as if it's being washed out

    What a creative way to construct a quilt from various sized blocks! I have too many sets of exchange blocks to count that need to be made into quilts, and this one really inspires me to start thinking outside of the box.

  49. Sheila31 May 2013 at 08:02

    Amazing quilt - Katy is spot on, it looks like a painting where the colours are running down the canvas.I'd love to have the imagination to choose, use and put all these fabric together, it's a joy!!

    It's beautiful. I love how it feels like the blocks are dripping if that makes sense...a bit like how paint drips down a wall.

    Wow Lynne it's amazing!! If you stand on your head to look at it, it looks like paintings hanging on ribbons. Stunning. Of course, if you didn't want to stand on your head you could always turn the quilt upside down. :) Xxx
