Which I Made Another Thing

[alltoseek]

A six by six double wedding ring quilt top.

Whole thing:


The rings are supposed to be varying shades of gold-yellow-tan-white.

The centers are supposed to be blue to green.

The ovals where the rings overlap are supposed to be black.


Close-up of upper left:


Most of the fabrics were used also in my first Aubreyad quilt.

New fabrics include hot-air balloons, in honour of Diana's trip in one. This forms the third ring from the left on the top row.


Close-up of upper right:


Towards the center of the quilt is a house, for Ashgrove cottage :-) The fabric as a whole looks Mediterranean, so it had also made me think of Stephen's home in Catalunya.

Next to the fish above the house are a couple pieces from a chessboard with chessmen fabric (couldn't find any backgammon fabric, alas :-)

I could send you all on a scavenger hunt - who can find the watches? Where's the cannon? The ship blueprints? The precious gems? :D :D :D

Which you made the awesomest thing ever. Ever ever ever.

Incredible feat of imagination, skill, humour, patience and endurance.

I found the watches.
Pretty sure I found the gems.
Uh, blueprints, check.
Oh! There they are, the cannons, the clever things.
Better than where's Waldo.

There's glory for you.

*awed*

WHERE ARE THE BLUEPRINTS????

Seriously, though, WHERE ARE THEY????

*is going crosseyed now*

This is a mind-bogglingly complex pretty thing. I am all admiration but also bafflement at your patience!

That's just gorgeous. So much detail, so much love and work that went into this.
*stares in awe*

*stares* just *stares*
This is beyond gorgeous, but I could use a larger photo to appreciate all those wonderful details. You are the quilt maker of the world.

couldn't find any backgammon fabric
That might have been NSFW (or NSFF), so a chessboard is perfectly reasonable even when dear Jack was not so keen to play chess with STephen.
