Uuups... a unicorn poops... {Rainbow Quilt} /// WERBUNG ///

Hello again... My second entry to the Blogger's Quilt Festival is my "uuups... a unicorn poops!" quilt... 

It is a simple rainbow charm pack quilt with a lot of space for negativ space quilting. I use this top for a example to show how quilting an a longarm machine at a exipition last year. The negative space was no problem. I divided the space in six sections and use at every section an other pattern. Always alternating a freemotion motiv and straigt line ruler work...

 

But for a long time I don't know what I to do with the rainbow squares until I have this idea... I saw with my inner eyes an abstract pixel poops from a unicorn... LoL... And then I know what I must quilted in these squares... stars... a unicorn poops stars, right?!
I'm just a little bit crazy... That's normal...

 

That's the whole story about this crazy title...

 While I took the photos I had two grasshoppers to visit...
 
Hello little beauty... 
The bloggers quilt festival was a good reason to make photos from this quilt! Then, I never did it befor! Shame on me! Just a quick shoot in my studio, but no outdoor photos! 

So I catch my little daughter and drive at the hill and search a good place to take photos... first stop was in the forst... an unicorn you find most time in a mystic forest, or not?... We found just the unicorn poops... lol again...

 
Sorry it's really late and my fantasy goes on... I write this text in my bed before I sleep. That's the best time for me to write in english... I'm tired and the words stream so easy out of my brain... So funny...  
But I digress... Back to the hill... We goes through the forest and found a nice place with view to the mount pilatus... The sun was warm but can you see the snow on the mountain?! Winter is coming! This is the first snow this fall! We can feel the snow in the wind and it was really windy! First my daughter hold the quilt and I take the photos but not for long. It was to difficult for she. So we switch our place, I hold and she takes the photos! She makes a really god job! A lot was blurry but between I found a few really good shoots! Kids learns so fast... 
And for the End... Here is my unicorn... At the label... A little unicorn with a great p**ps... oke, now is enough! I stopping... and say thank you, when you read this whole crazy words...

Geese Gathering {Blogger's Quilt Festival} /// WERBUNG ///

Hi there

It's fall and a new Blogger's Quilt Festival is going on hosted by Amy Ellis from Amys Creative Side

Here is my entry... My "Geese Gathering" Quilt...

I got the idea for this quilt during a flying geese mini quilt swap I participated in. Flying geese are one of my most favourite patterns...

 I created this block in my CAD program, then I mirrored the block and build the whole quilt layout. I tried different colorways and choose one with an ombré effect...

 I have cut my fabric color card to choose the perfect color run...

 Then onto the backing… A stripe of all the colores I used in the front! Just turquoise would have been too boring!...

 This quilt was over two weeks in the longarm frame and I worked on it for approximately 45 hours. I quilted a mix between ruler work and freemotion quilting...

Geometry is my thing. I love it since I learned it in 7th grade. The quilting on this quilt is very geometric. I tried to make a second layer just with the quilting. I hope you can see it. White is really

hard to photograph.
