Escher In Shadows Finished!

 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!
