Chandelier Beads is a small throw quilt for the back of the sofa. It is just 56'' square. The block is and uneven 9 patch block that I adapted for this. It is set on point. I kept the beads colorful. More tonal fabrics were used than prints, although I did throw in a couple of those too. The background was kept light, but not all white. I threw in beige and cream too.
After a quick wash and dry, it crinkled up nicely. Nice and cuddly, and the quilting just seemed to pop. Free motion swirls throughout the background areas, and those butterfly wings in the border.
And now, I can call this one done.
And move on to the Jewel Box Stars for quilting. A floral quilt for spring quilting.
I did play a bit in the sewing room, but nothing to show. I ended up in the kitchen putting a couple of freezer meals together for this next week as it is full of doctor's visits. I am not sure why they all seem to come together in one week and bog me down. It happens too often.
Happy stitching.
I really like this border color with the beads!
ReplyDeleteHope the appointments go well for all.
The variety of background colors adds to the interest in a quilt. It seems to catch the eye like light and shadow.
ReplyDeleteI have the same issue with medical appointments - the all come in a row.
What a great pattern, I like the jewel tones in the quilt.
ReplyDeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteYou know I love this quilt! Congrats on its finish!
ReplyDeleteYour Chandelier Beads is gorgeous. I love the on point setting, your use of color and of the neutrals in the background, and the quilting. Your quits are always amazing! I hope your week goes well and will fly by so you can get back to your heart-desires. ~Jeanne
ReplyDeleteYay for finishing this lovely quilt. I doing my blocks for RSC19 so it will stretch out over the year. I used some busy prints as backgrounds and now I don't think they are going to work, so I need to dive back into the neutral backgrounds and tame the next blocks down. Good luck this week. Look at the bright side. If you get all the appointments done at once, you can get back to your regular schedule.

Oh, I love this one! I want to just wrap it around my shoulders and snuggle into it. The bright, yet soft colors are lovely, and the deep peacock teal border is perfect. Wonderful piece, Debbie :)
ReplyDeleteThat turned out gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThat is a very striking quilt and Yay! a finish!
ReplyDeleteI agree with everyone, so soft and cozy and great color and wrap me up in it! It makes me want to get mine done.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is beautiful. Love the on point setting. It is funny- Vicki Welsh finished her mosaic wall beads and you finished your quilt ones. Congratulations on a superb finish!
ReplyDeleteI love how your quilt turned out, and especially that setting triangle/border fabric - fabulous! Good luck with all the appointments and hopefully your only appointment next week will be with your sewing machine.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty! I love this pattern, and your fabric choices make this a very appealing quilt. Great job, Debbie!
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is stunning. You did a wonderful job. I'll be thinking of you next week during your doctor visits.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finish Debbie - congratulations!! The fabric for the setting triangles really pops those blocks.
ReplyDeleteWishing you all the best for your visits to the doctor next week, preparing freezer meals is a good idea.
Wonderful design and finish for your Chandelier Beads. The blue setting triangles make a great frame.
