Woven: Over and Down Under Pattern top finished

 Good day, or should I say good evening.  I am busy in my day job and just now getting around to updating my blog.

My last entry was about a project, using the pattern Over and Down Under, and a fabric line called Georgia.  It's a line of pretty pastel fabrics and I was afraid the woven look would not develop.

Well I am now done with top, and you know, I rather like it.  It's like a Monet painting.  Up close, his paintings have blotches and swirls of paint.  But step back, and you see waterlilies.

My project:  up close you see squares of fabrics:


But overall, the woven look is there, if a bit subtly.


The top finishes at 56 inches square.  I like the deep purple fabric used in the border, and I saved some for the binding.  
Next: I may try this pattern again with a jelly roll of bright batiks.  Or I may cut scraps for some other projects I have in mind.  All balanced with day job and family of course.

Linking up with Midweek Makers, Wednesday Wait Loss, Needle and Thread Thursday, Put your Foot Down at the Quiltery, Nina-Marie, Finished or Not at Alycia Quilts, Oh Scrap at Quilting is more Fun than Housework.

I know you wondered if the jelly roll you had would work well for this and I think it has! Like a Monet, it has beauty and subtlety. I love it. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

It's quite lovely. The weave is subtle, and all fabrics play well together

I agree with Alycia. . .such a cool effect and you were worried the woven effect wouldn't be visible! It is a lovely top and the purple border makes the design pop!
