When two of my favorite things come together,
life is Wonderful!
As those who follow me know,
I love, love, love Kaffe Fassett fabrics.
(As my goddaughter said the other day while shopping for
fabric with me, why would anyone use any other fabrics?
I have her brainwashed, too! :D)
In addition, I really like MC Escher's art.
It fascinates me.
So, when I found a kit with an Escher design,
made with Kaffe fabrics, it was a no-brainer.
This is the second Escher design I've made and I love them both.
As I said, this was a kit, but I did switch out some of the fabrics
to ones I liked better.
This Escher quilt was actually very easy to make.
The largest challenge was staying organized.
The parts had to be placed in a specific order,
in a specific direction to make the design work.
I used labels to mark each part and kept them in order
on my cutting table as I sewed them together.
It looks like you could climb right into this quilt
and have a seat on one of the cubes.
The quilting design is called "Alex" and gives the quilt just
enough without taking away from the design.
I backed it with the turquoise grunge fabric that I also used for the binding.
There is one more Escher design in a kit with Kaffe.
Should I go for it?
I'm linking to Design Wall Monday today.
Happy Quilting!

Yes, go for it! That is just gorgeous. I love the depth of it.
Wow! just WOW!
I've seen this quilt before and I'm intrigued by it. I looked for the pattern a while back, but didn't buy it at the time. Now it seems it is only available in the kit. You did a great job on it. A unique quilt.
Fabulous job, Ramona! Love the pattern, the fabrics, as well as the quilting. Congratulations on your glorious finish!
WOW!! WOW and then some. LOVE the colors, and the depth really does make you feel like you could fall right in. Stay well, and stay safe.
Yes it does look like you could sit on one of those cubes, just amazing and so you Ramona!! Well yes you better jump right in with the other kit;)
How can one woman bring forth so much beauty and energy? Well done! This quilt is almost hypnotic. I'm certain the next kit is going to be on a doorstep near you soon.
Wowzer! It's a beauty, Ramona!!!
What an amazing looking quilt! Love the fabrics you picked. I am so impressed. Yes, you should do another Escher!
Beautiful masterpiece. Your passion shows. Is the pattern still available. Much blessings
I want to make this quilt so much. I want to use my big collection of Kaffe Fabrics. I just don't know where to start. No pattern yet either. Your quilt is absolutely gorgeous. What are your suggestions for me to get started on this. ?? If a kit was avoided I would consider purchasing it. Thank you for any information. Happy Quilting. !! From Missouri. **
Judy, the key to making these quilts is to be very organized. I label all fabrics and parts when I begin cutting and sewing them together. Kits are available at Quilt-agious dot com. I can't have any distractions when making this pattern, either. I hope you make one and enjoy the process!
