Crazy Love
Remember this quilt top from ages ago?
It's now a quilt!!!
It's actually been finished for a few weeks now but I've been struggling to get a really good photo of it.
The fabrics, Crazy Love by Sis Boom, are so beautiful. They're rich and exotic, bright and pretty all at the same time. I've been trying to capture that on film.
Although close, I don't think I've quite captured their true beauty.
Maybe it's been the light, my camera or maybe some fabrics just need to be seen in real life to be believed.
For the backing I used a top I made a few years ago using mostly Brandon Mably fabrics.
I'm happy it's found it's destiny combined with the Crazy Love top. They make a perfect combo. Gbf calls it a Double A side quilt after the vinyl record singles that had great songs on both sides. A flash back to our youth!
Tanya Croft, my Long Arm Wonder Lady and I decided that circles would be a fun pattern to suit both sides. Those bubbly curves soften the geometric angles and make your eyes dance around in circles.
So there you go, That's the quilt I call Crazy Love. And I am crazy about it! It's on the bed and brightens our room. One day I'm going to make lots of pillow cases in Sis boom fabrics to match. Can't have enough of a good thing!

ReplyDeleteLove the bright colours in it, glad you were able to track down a good photo location :o)
ReplyDeleteLove this bright and happy quilt. Great idea to use another top for the back - maybe I need to try that to reduce my pile of tops!
ReplyDeletebut....you're too young to know double A-sides....but BF definitly is right. Wonderful colours and triangles are always great !

ReplyDeleteCiao
Oh my goodness and wow!! This is on my list of favorite quilts!!
ReplyDeleteDrop dead gorgeous! Both sides! I commiserate with you on the difficulty of getting the absolute best photo of projects that involve Sis Boom. It's almost as if the saturated colors are just too fabulous for film. But you've done an excellent job capturing the beauty and love in this quilt. Love it!
ReplyDeleteLove your Crazy Love! If it's more gorgeous in person than in your photos, then it must be stunning! Really really lovely!
ReplyDeletei love it...especially the double sided-ness...
ReplyDeletei like the simplicy of the triangles...i have some fabric that i haven't decided what i might want to do with it...this might be the winner :)

Wow that's wonderful, those colours are really juicy! I love that it's a Double A side too.
ReplyDeleteI love it!!!!! And I love the Double A name too =D You must be thrilled with how it turned out =D
ReplyDeleteWonderful x 2! Your amazing way with color combinations really enhances all those beautiful fabrics. Great quilting too! I'm sure you'll enjoy this one for a long time. It's fun to see glimpses at your lovely property too!
ReplyDeleteLovely. I love both sides.
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with that quilt! And it shows off perfectly hanging on that tree! It's like a black and white photo that's had a digital color added to the quilt! So vibrant and alive! I love it!
ReplyDeleteAnd you are way too young to remember vinyl records and 'A' sides! You must have been watching an old Gidgit movie! lol
I am very impressed! A beautiful quilt! I wouldn't know which side to pick. Great job.
ReplyDeleteRachael it is awesome! I love the front as much as the back! How cool, it is kind of like a 2 for 1.
ReplyDeleteI think the circles or bubbles go perfect with all the angles.
I love a finished quilt!
Tht is one gorgeous quilt and you photographed it beautifully!
ReplyDeleteUmmmm totally in love with that quilt my friend. And the idea of a double sided beauty just makes it twice as gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a gorgeous quilt, on both sides! Congrats on the finish, I love it and I know it would be even better in person.
ReplyDeleteIt's absolutely stunning Rachael. Beautiful colours and wonderful design.
ReplyDeleteSo stunning!! I love both sides but the triangles are so beautiful! Gorgeous fabric! I like the double A idea :)
ReplyDeleteI have CRAZY LOVE for this quilt. It is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI love that used a quilt top for the backing. I have to confess that is one backing I haven't tried yet - what have I been doing with my time? lol.
The bubbles add so much to it with their loopy movement -
Hooray for a beautiful finish - enjoy!
p.s. I loved all the creative photos
Wow this is beautiful and that goes for both the front and back. Great choice of quilting design too.
