The GO Quilt, Color in Motion

This is an example of a listing I have had on Etsy. I mostly work directly with customers who have requests for colors, patterns and sizes that fit their needs. I especially love making quilts that use customer fabrics that are embedded with meaning. Visit my shop on Etsy to see the designs I offer, but feel free to connect with me for special requests. Prices are based on size and complexity.

Handmade lap quilt shown in neutral colors, is available in any color scheme imaginable, for any guy or gal in your life. This “Go Quilt” pattern written by Lucy Engels, size is 66” x 76” is an extra large throw. The colors and geometric design has the illusion of movement with hundreds of small pieces, and provides an eye catching display of neutral colors, in brown, tan, and various shades of blue.

If you’d like to create your own color combinations for this quilt, please choose “create your own” under the ‘Colors’ link when checking out. Upon ordering, you can send a message indicating what colors you’d like included.

Suitable for male or female, this quilt would make a very thoughtful housewarming gift, birthday gift, or even for Christmas. This is one of my favorite quilts to make, as each row is a different combination of shapes and colors.

This quilt was made entirely in my non-smoking studio, in the beautiful state of KY.

HOW ITS MADE

The top layer of the quilt is the main design element, fabrics carefully chosen, cut, and sewn together, piece by piece, on my Bernina machine. Creating the quilt top is typically the longest part of the process, particularly as this quilt is made from hundreds of tiny pieces!

The middle layer is hidden, inside the top and bottom layer, and is a soft layer of batting made of wool, which traps heat inside and keeps ones legs snuggly and warm without being heavy.

The bottom or back layer of the quilt is the coordinating print.

All three layers are sandwiched together, then carefully quilted in an all over design pattern, for the quickest result. Customer can have input on quilting design.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

All quilts can be machine washed in cold water, and machine dried. With each wash, the quilt will become softer.

Shipping is FREE in the U.S. mainland states.

Thank you for stopping by my shop!

Quilting began as a hobby for me in 2007, when my Mother (who was quite passionate about quilting, and creating in general), gave me a quick lesson on how to make a Christmas table runner. At that time, I was a high school science teacher, and with no background in art or textiles, I had much to learn. But, as is the story with many quilters, once you get started, it becomes quite the addiction. I retired early from teaching in 2008, and after making quilts for family members, babies of friends, and every bed in my house, I needed to pass some of these pieces on to others who could use them. Thus began my Etsy shop, Bluegrass Quilts, in 2015. I love designing with color, and working with customers to find the combination of colors and styles they love, then turning it into something they can keep for a lifetime.

Most of the quilts in my shop are offered as custom, commissioned pieces, made to order in various sizes and any color scheme imaginable. Customers typically browse through the many quilt listings in my shop, and order directly from the menu of choices in any size, ranging from crib size all the way to California King. Custom sizes are also available upon asking. Customer input can occur on various levels, from determining fabric preferences, sizing needs, and choosing quilt stitching design. All of these decisions are made by discussions that occur throughout the process, using email or Etsy’s messaging system in my shop. Time for completion varies, depending on my current workload. Estimated time of completion is provided upon request, or after ordering. Currently, the wait time is approximately 4-5 months. Email: bluegrassquilts @ gmail.com (remove the spaces)

The most fulfilling type of quilt to make is upcycling clothing from a loved one and turning it into a quilt. There is a two-fold benefit from these quilts – not only are we working toward sustainability, but the memories created from using a quilt made from articles belonging to one we love are priceless and precious. I recognize and appreciate this when I create these quilts.
