Purple & Yellow -- FINISHED

This is the quilt that I struggled with a quilting design and had wanted to use as my entry for Paducah but finally gave up and went with my original plan for quilting . . something fun and not overwhelming for such a simple quilt.

I'm also putting up a picture of the back to show the quilting. There were still threads needing to be trimmed and a couple of "bird's nests" that need fixing. I should have used a print for the backing but I was afraid a print might show through to the front. My friend will use this one in her booth at the quilt shows this year. These almost solid backings aren't very forgiving and every little imperfection in the quilting shows. This was a *quick* quilting job and looks great from the front.

I had a really hard time getting pictures because it's been so windy. In fact, the wind ended up catching the quilt and toppling my display stands and both of them broke but I think Vince can fix them. I took probably two dozen photographs (I am not a photographer) and in most of them, the pink squares looked like Pepto Bismol .. which isn't a bad shade of pink but that's not the color of my quilt.

The name of this quilt is Cameron Square. This will be another individual pattern. We kept trying to come up with a name. Thanks to those who helped. I liked the "celtic" idea but many people who do not like celtic would have ignored the pattern because of the name. I also liked the flower names but with the brown/green one, I was hoping to attract some buyers who want to make masculine quilts. Chad told me it looked like the fields below when when you're flying. I thought it reminded me of the pictures of Cameron Parish, Louisiana after Hurricane Rita . . just various concrete foundations where homes and offices once were. In the pictures on the internet, it is impossible to tell where the town square once stood . . everything is gone! So, in honor of my friends and family in south Louisiana who are suffering so badly right now, the name of the pattern is "Cameron Square".
