Yesterday I finished my first PhD, renaming it Bohemian Romance. Very romantic fabrics, design based on Splendid Blended Olio from Marsha McCloskey's book Blended Traditions II. The overall dark large print fabrics create interesting blending. In the large blocks I have used free motion designs to enhance the single fabric blocks. I tried to use a lot of free motion feathers in blocks as well as in the border. To my eye this quilt takes on the look of an Persian rug. I used a floral print flannel for the backing in overall green tones. I have not washed this quilt yet, I wanted to but the washer lines are frozen. After washing and puckering I will post to my blog -
