Celtic Knots - A Finish

One last Christmas finish, running a little late.  Good thing I'll have another opportunity to see this quilt on it's way soon!


There are three different designs quilted into this piece - a Celtic twist pattern in the border, a Celtic knot pattern in the dark diamonds, and stitch in the ditch done around the pieced knots.  That design is easiest to see from the back.













I learned that trying to center a design on the back is more complicated than I thought it would be.  Despite pinning the edges of the back where the top should lie, the large knot is a little off center. But the design didn't run off the edge, so I'm still happy with how it turned out.

I had debated using the blue to wrap it up, but I think the cream frames it nicely and adds an extra little pop!

  4. Beautiful! I'm a huge fan of two-sided quilts. I think you did a fine job with the back, and I love how it relates to the front. The little on-point squares in the border on the front are such a great detail.

  6. I wouldn't have noticed the back if you hadn't pointed it out. This has turned out beautifully. Like JanineMarie I love the little squares in your border.
