I wanted to create a quilt that had a New Orleans/Mardi Gras feel without being too literal…i.e. green, purple, gold and beads. I ran to my favorite local quilt shop, Strawberry Patches, and begged the assistance of the owner, Suzanne, to help me find the perfect fabrics for my vision. I think she wanted to call the police and have me admitted…but she persevered and hooked me up with the perfect fabrics. I wanted that purple and gold feel with some brown, green and blue undertones. A little mystery and a little gritty-ness…
We selected four fabrics for the background: 3 batik fabrics and one quilting weight cotton. The Fleur-de-lis is made with two gold fabrics: one quilting weight cotton and one batik. The darker Gold is used as the binding. The back shows off all the main fabrics in larger scale.
Some detail shots:
All quilting was completed on my Bernina 440 with my trusty walking foot. Applique is raw-edged to give it an aged feel.
This one is headed off to a friend living in New Orleans. As soon as I can get my tush to the post office.
Beautiful. You might need to start “signing” your quilts somehow just like artists do their work!
Beautiful, I have been looking for a pattern for the fluer des lis everywhere … Does anyone sell them? I am brand new to quilting. Your design is awesome!
Hi Carol. Thank you so much for your kind words! I took a few different free fleur de lis images and then free-handed a drawing. Then I blew the drawing up on my printer until it was the size I wanted. Hope this helps!
