Denise’s Kracken Quilt

Isn’t this quilt amazing?!?!!!! Denise has made a few other Legit Kit quilts, and this Kracken quilt is one of them.

The kit is available here: https://legitkits.com/products/the-kracken-full-quilt-top-kit

Denise wanted an organic wavy line and I asked if it would be okay to add random circles throughout. When I think of octopuses I think of bubbles. I love how it turned out. I quilted everything freehand. I quilted the wavy lines first and then quilted the circles in here and there between the gaps in the curves.

I used an aqua colored thread from Superior Threads, I can’t remember if it was an Omni thread or a different one. I also used my favorite 8020 cotton poly batting from Winline Textiles.

Look at the incredible details on the face and arms. Amazing!!

Denise’s son wanted this quilt, lucky him!!!

Here is a close up of the wavy organic texture and circles.

I tried to make the quilting as random as possible.

Look at the details on the arms!! I was going to say tentacles but looked up the spelling and google said octopuses have arms with suckers on them, not tentacles. 🐙 Learning new things all the time.

Denise found this fun minky for the backing, which added a fun additional texture.

Thanks for stopping by! If you’re interested in having me quilt for you, check out my edge to edge quilting calendar and schedule a day. https://calendly.com/quiltingit/edgetoedge
