I have been working hard on quilting the 'Siblings Together' quilts and will post an update on that next week but also managed to piece the quilt top for the 'Comet' quilt in between.
So I thought I share with you an update on the progress. Some of you may have already seen this at the FQ retreat last weekend. I am so utterly pleased with how it turned out and have shown it already to Michael from Oakshotts and I think he was rather impressed too at how his fabulous reds shine in the middle of the luxurious black.
Now I am debating with myself about what to do for the back. Originally I thought I use a patterned one piece back but I am changing my mind slowly to a pieced back using one of the alternative designs I sketched with EQ 7 for this quilt. That would make it completely reversible and rather like this idea.
I actually am thinking to go for this design. What do you think ?
Or maybe this instead ?
Oh I don't know..... well I am going to Germany tonight for few days to visit my sister and celebrate my nephew's fourth birthday and maybe I get a brainwave there.
Have a good weekend !

I love the second one, it is abstract but also quite lovely.

It looks fantastic, I like the first design. Have a fantastic trip and get some of those big hugs in. Thanks for the pink pincushion you gave me at retreat, even my 7yr old thought it should go to the charity shop!

I like the first design for the back!

It looks great! I think I prefer the first design for the other side...have a great time in Germany!

Love it! I'd go with the first design for the back ;-) but you could probably have guessed I'd say that. Really is a lush quilt though. :-)

Looking great, I like the first option; the scattered red. It's like a before and after shot of the comet exploding.

This is awesome, I actually like option 2 :)

This is going to be such an excellent quilt. I like both back ideas, the second one is my favourite.

I prefer the first one! Have a lovely break.

The first one for the back! All are gorgeous, though!

Das erste Motiv ist eindeutig besser! Das zweite erinnert in der Farbverteilung zu sehr an die Vorderseite. Mit dem ersten h├Ąttest du eine "echte" Alternative.

Loving the depth of colour against the black. I really like both your options for the back! Have a lovely time in germany. Jxo

I love it, and the back option is great!
EmmaJune 10, 2012 11:52 pm
I love the first option. It makes me think of comets. I hope you have a wonderful time in Germany and your nephew has a fantastic fourth birthday.
PattiJune 16, 2012 1:37 pm
So gorgeous! Both options are amazing, although I think I gasped out loud when I saw the second one!
Happy Birthday to your nephew!
Thank you for your comments! I love reading them and will answer every question you have on my projects. But I have a very busy daytime job and am therefore not able to thank each and every comment. Please don't be offended if I won't reply.
