Steam Punk beauty

My friend from Idaho, Domini, made this beautiful

"Steam Punk" quilt.

I've had my little eye on this pattern for some time and after seeing her quilt in "real life" I decided to purchase it

along with the templates.

It's a Jen Kingwell design.

 I'm in love with anything she creates.

I want to hang out with Jen Kingwell - one day I will....

You can purchase the pattern and templates

 here in this Etsy shop.

 

This is a photo before I started quilting.

 

Domini uses wool batting in most of her quilts.

It makes them so soft and drape-y.

 

 

I love her color selection.

 

 

I outlined the spokes and centers then

pebbled the background.

I didn't want to detract from her piecing.

 

 

Then she chooses this for the backing.....

oh, how I love this print!

 

 

Beautiful - so beautiful!

Notice how some of her blocks are "floating" and some of them have their own background. 

I'm going to steal that idea!

 

 

I need to get started on mine, but I haven't picked out my fabrics yet.

Thank you, Domini, for the inspiration.

I love it!
