Kismet - revisited


Kismet
62 x 79 inches

I first posted about Kismet in June 2013. When I returned home from Denver last summer, the bag with the blocks and fabric were pushed aside, and I worked on other projects.

Last week, I decided to get busy and finish the quilt. As shown in the photo, the top is finished. I usually hang the finished tops in my kitchen for a few days to "live with the quilt," and each time I glanced at this quilt, all the brown really bothered me.

Saturday, I decided to order this black/turquoise fabric from the Jenny Beyer website.

This fabric should complement the pumpkins more than the brown did.  I'll post a photo after I receive the fabric. Hopefully, it will not take me another year to finish this quilt.

  5. The brown is good, but the new color might be great. What a good idea this is to hang it up and live with it for a few days. I tend to lay mine on the floor and walk around it for a couple of days when arranging blocks.

  6. That is so pretty, but what a good idea to 'live with it' for a few days to see if you really like it before finally nailing it down! Great idea. Can't wait to see what you do with it.

  7. Good choice. Are you going to remove the outer brown border or just add another border in this fabric?

    Is this your own design? I really like the blocks inside the pumpkins. Those are pumpkins, right?

  8. Please tell me you are only changing the outer border! I love the pumpkins!
