Jacob's Ladder
It's a top!
45 x 63
I've had the blocks webbed together since January when I was working on brown scrap reduction. Finally I now have it all sewn together. It will be a donation quilt when finished.
I think I put a couple of leftover blocks in the orphanage. If so I think I will replace that block with the busy background. It just doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the backgrounds. If I don't have any extra blocks in the orphanage then I guess the busy background block will stay.
And sew on...
What a nice quilt top! It has two things I love--the Jacob's Ladder block and scrappy brown fabrics. A wonderful donation top to be sure.
ReplyDeleteI love that pattern--and you made a lovely one...nice work hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteThat's such a great block! I love the design you've created with all of them pointing the same direction like that. Pretty colors, too. Someone will really love that quilt!
ReplyDeleteIt looks very soothing. The shades of brown work well and are not dull or muddy. Nice finish!
ReplyDeletereally cool, Cathy - I really like how you organized (or plucked from the pile??) the shades of brown, or I guess it's the values of brown you have there. Cool ombre effect!
ReplyDeleteLovely use of your brown scraps, Cathy. I can see what you mean about the one busier looking block. Hope you manage to find a replacement in your Orphanage.
ReplyDeleteReally like this one - hope the busy block goes to the orphanage so you feel happier with the top.
ReplyDeleteI think the busy background adds a cool focal point.
ReplyDeleteYour busy background block is what my grandmother would have called a "screamer" - she said every quilt should have a screamer, even if it was just one weird color poking its nose into the quilt.
ReplyDeleteThis is a really cool one - I love all the browns together
