Turns out being sick isn't so bad for getting things finished. It's really pretty comforting to snuggle under a big quilt like this and slowly stitch on the binding. Comfort and productivity simultaneously. This is my 9th finish. I started this quilt when my mom was ill last fall. I was pretty blue about it for a long time. I'm not blue about it any longer. "Feeling Blue" is queen sized and at home in my guest bedroom.
The quilting is by my friend Angela and again a wonderful collaboration. She stepped way out of her comfort zone to do something very geometric and wonky for me. It was her idea to do the large connecting shapes which maybe you can see if you enlarge the photos. You'll all simply have to come visit to see this one in person.
I love the blocks, the negative space, the quilting, the binding. It's so great when something you're not sure of comes together. And I get to keep it. (Oh, and the back is pretty cool too, but I forgot to take photos of that!)

I love how the pieces are arranged. It's lovely to see.
Oh Jacquie I love this quilt
Love your work! Would you recommend use Kona cotton for the solid? I also have difficult time to decided what for my solid.
You two make a terrific team. How wonderful you have someone who sees and understands your vision. It's beautiful.
Wow! This quilt is amazing. I just love looking at it. I hope your Mom is healthy and happy and as amazing as this quilt!
It's beautiful! The quilting pattern just brings it together. Nice job!
Thanks for sharing this special story and quilt with us, Jacquie. I'm glad that you were able to finish it and have a friends special touch in the quilting. Wonderful. I like it!

Thank you for bringing this quilt to the guild meeting last night. Once again I was blown away by another Jacquie/Angela collaboration.
Is that an invitation?
wow.
love it.
Love everything about this quilt! And the quilting is just outstanding! Gorgeous :)
Ooooo. Fantastic. I'll be crossing the middle of the country in mid-July. Will you fluff the pillows for us?
It is lovely! And the quilting is spectacular.
Great quilt! I really like how the positive and negative space work together -- and the quilting is fabulous
it's beautiful!
I like the empty space too. Nice modern quilt.
The quilt turned out so nice and the quilting is amazing!
I love everything about this quilt. I am inspired to try my hand at one with that much white. I've always been afraid of that. But, it's gorgeous, and just perfect, and, WOW!
You mentioned the other night at the kcmqg that you were experimenting with negative space. I'd be so interested in hearing/reading about your process when you made this. Did you make the blocks first and play a bit on a design wall to incorporate the the negative space. Or maybe have an idea first of where you wanted the negative space to be?
Really enjoy seeing your work! Thanks for sharing.
I loved this quilt as a top but WOW the quilting is fantastic. I've always liked geometric quilting on a geometric quilt.
ok wow - the quilt is gorgeous - and that quilting - beyond amazing! It just adds so much to the quilt - she did a fantastic job! Hope you are feeling better!
This is so wonderful and I am thrilled to see it posted for everyone to see.
I meant to tell you last night, but I totally love the binding you picked for it! Maybe I was having my own little binding theme night or something :)
Of course, the winning combination of your design and Angela's quilting is my main "favorite thing!"
That turned out very cool. I love the little pops of blue in an otherwise neutral quilt.
So beautiful, as always. You inspire me so much!
what a cool graphic quilt - love it!
beautiful and the quilting really does add a lot of dimension!

Another amazing quilt! Your quilter did a fabulous job of working with your design.
I concur! You and Andrea make a fab pair. What a gorgeous quilt. It looks very at home in your guest room.
This is absolutely gorgeous! I love the color combo, the design, and Angela's beautiful quilting.
Gorgeous quilt!!! Doesn't it feel fantastic to KEEP something you create?! I recently finished a quilt for our bed, and I get to drool over it every time I walk in our room. Yay! LOVE the sparse blues in there too! Cheers~
Beautiful! Hope you are feeling better!
It is so beautiful! It is really serene which is perfect for a bedroom. Gorgeous!
That is the best quilting ever. Awesome quilt!
I really like this quilt. I am not sure I would have made it before, but after seeing yours, I think I might have to put it in my "inspiration" folder. Thanks!
This is gorgeous, Jacquie.
and it's comfy! :>
Fabulous design; this is my kind of quilt. :)
Jacquie, this turned out beautifully. A stunning collaboration once again, the quilting is fab. Such a great feeling isn't it when it all comes together so brilliantly when you've struggled with a project. I love this.
