Weird Potato Chips and a Fall Quilt

September 16, 2013

Fall Quilt

This quilt is one of my favorites for autumn.  I love all the colors of early fall-purples and oranges paired with golden wheat and brown.

Fall Quilt, Free Motion Quilting, Stencils

In this heavily quilted wall hanging or table-topper, I combined stencils with my version of Doodle quilting.  You may recognize the fabrics by designer, Kaffe Fassett. 

Fall Quilt, Free Motion Quilting, Stencils

In the body of the quilt, I stitched an overall pattern-without reference to the pieced triangles below.  This technique causes the quilting line (the Free Motion Quilting) to become more dominant than it would otherwise.  Also, the stenciled motifs “pop” because of the heavy quilting around them.

In the border, I chose a linear pattern to offer relief from the heavy curves in the body of the quilt.  (Read more about Contrast HERE.)

My son chose these chips at the store today.  While they seem to match my quilt nicely, I’m not sure they’re for me…

It is often a challenge to chose the right quilting for our quilt tops. We will be discussing that more in the weeks ahead...

Would you eat these chips?

Lori

PS–I reluctantly admit–I liked them!??

    I really like your choices, this quilt especially neat. I am very fond of Kaffe Fassett fabric anyhow. I look forward to your tutorials on machine quilting also. I just finished dancing umbrella quilt, being long arm quilted now thank you so much for all your input

      Roxanna,
      Do you mind if I quote you to my family???

    Oh my, that is beautiful! I get so inspired after viewing your work. Sorry, no I would not eat the chips, I am one of those people that eat as close to Paleo as I can. Lori you do such an awesome job and even though I don’t comment often, I am always looking and very excited to see what you have to say. Awesome

      Judy, So glad you like the quilt. I wish I could say I eat Paleo…maybe 2014 New Year’s Resolution? How long have you done it and why did you chose Paleo?

        Lori, I have been doing this for just over a year. Follow it pretty closely, absolutely no grain at all, no dairy and if i do any sugar, it is with honey, but that is rare. Only consume the grain in the protein because where I live, it is hard to find grass fed proteins. I did this because I had already given up dairy and sugar, and I came across Robb Wolf on utube and he made a lot of good points to why this is a healthy way to eat. I have made it through all of the holidays this past year, and was able to easily enjoy myself! This works for me. Good luck to you if you try it!

    We actually have a chicken and waffle local chain of restaurants here in Phoenix. Try getting a table on the weekends! They are lined up out the door…I might look for these-just for a kick!

    Absolutely stunning!

    Gorgeous quilting as usual! Such amazing work!

    Lori, this quilt is gorgeous. I love your approach re ignoring pieced seams, and just going for the all over look. Do you have a favorite source for your stencils?

    1. Lori Kennedy says:
      September 17, 2013 at 2:33 pm

      I will look up the names of the two stencil companies I like and get back to you…

    This is a beautiful quilt! I love the colors and the quilting is outstanting!
    I’m not sure I would like those chips either -lol-
    Have a great day.
    Always, Queenie

    Oh Lays – they are testing some interesting flavoured chip sup here in Canada too, where we already have other companies that make weird flavour (roast chicken, lobster..)

    1. Lori Kennedy says:
      September 17, 2013 at 2:31 pm

      Lobster?? Yuk–but I have to admit, if I saw them in the store I would buy them. Great marketing I guess.

    I have never had Chicken and waffles and thought the chips would be awful but I was wrong. The chips are GREAT!! It is a good thing that I can’t find them in this town.

    1. Lori Kennedy says:
      September 17, 2013 at 2:30 pm

      Me too! I thought I’d hate them, but I didn’t! One more thing to resist–ugh!

    Love the quilting on this tabletopper. Chicken and Waffle chips? It goes on the yucky list with Dill Pickle chips I tried last summer….

    1. Lori Kennedy says:
      September 17, 2013 at 2:30 pm

      Karen, I didn’t like the Dill Pickle Chips either–even though I like the real thing. I’m not a huge fan of waffles and I’ve never had waffles and chicken, but I kinda liked them!

    I LOVE the quilt, it’s absolutely stunning! I envy your talent! And no, I don’t think I would try the chips! Funny combination, though! (I am a sour cream and onion gal!)

    1. Lori Kennedy says:
      September 17, 2013 at 2:29 pm

      Hi Jeanne, Thanks for chiming in! I thing you would love the chips…maple syrup and chicken…Yum!?

    Gorgeous quilt Lori! The chips, well, I’ll pass!

    1. Lori Kennedy says:
      September 17, 2013 at 2:28 pm

      Glad you like the quilt, but I must say…I think you’d like the chips as well. Strangely satisfying.

      1. Laura says:
        September 18, 2013 at 10:41 pm

        Lori, what thread did you use to quilt this project with? I noticed you don’t see the thread color, just the quilting so I’m curious how you did that.

    The quilt is lovely, but I have to say that I have been looking for those chips every time I go into the store. My son is dying to try them. 🙂

    1. WordPress.com Support says:
      September 17, 2013 at 8:08 am

      They were strangely good. We found them at Walgreens.

    Someone once said don’t eat anything your grandmother wouldn’t recognize as food. I think these fit in that category of “pretend foods”. Gorgeous quilt though.

      Funny quote. I don’t think my grandmother would approve…
