Carol’s Landscape Collage Quilt

Over my nearly 19 year longarm quilting career, I haven’t quilted many landscape or collage quilts…I can think of maybe one other.

Amazing, huh?!?! Carol took a picture, of a cactus with the mountains in the distance, and decided to do a collage quilt. Wait until you see the picture…it’s incredible she was able to get the cactus to be so similar.

The quilt size is a lot smaller than you’d think, which makes the details even more impressive. Around 20”x30”. She found an ombré background for the sky, which I love!!!

I did simple organic lines in the sky, straight lines in the blue mountains…which are like the Overlapping Lines that I teach in my Quilting It Freemotion course, echoed lines in the tan mountains, and my freehand Grass design that I also teach in my Quilting It Freemotion course.

I’d love to teach you how to get started with freemotion quilting. Let me know if you have any questions.

See that quilty texture, sooo good!

I used a cream Omni thread from Superior Threads and 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles.

Here is Carol’s picture she sent…amazing that she could take a photo/memory and turn it into an amazing quilt!

Thanks for stopping by!!
