Finished Top!

I finished this top, the Fabric of the Year 2008 top, at the quilt retreat this past weekend. It was a great project for the retreat, because it was enough work to consume almost all of my sewing time there.

The FOTY concept was created by TFQ, who decided that it would be a good idea to try and use a piece of fabric shortly after buying it for a couple of reasons:

  1. If she liked the fabric, she would find out while the fabric was still available.
  2. It would be a good exercise to confirm what fabrics she commonly used so she could buy similar ones later.
  3. She would still like the fabrics

I really like this top. I think it glows. It is very cheerful.

I will have more about this later, but I had to post this for your viewing enjoyment.

  1. can you give me a translation of FOTY and TFQ… I’ve sort of developed ideas of what you’re refering to, but would love the right words in my mind 🙂

  2. This is beautiful! What a wonderful color gradient you achieved. I can imagine it’s amazing up close, too, seeing the different patterns.

  3. Jeanne: you have seen all the fabric before! You were with me when I bought most of it!!

    A: Thanks for your kind words! I really like the way this turned out.

    Linda: I also appreciate your kind words and the fact that you stopped in to take a look at my blog.
