Key Lime Pie
11 x 14
cotton, fabric paint
I was going to design a quilt using antique keys as a motif, but around the holidays when looking through my recipes, I came across one for Key Lime pie. Ahhhh...KEY Lime Pie, light bulb moment! That was much more interesting than my original idea.
For emphasis, I decided the only color would be the slice of pie itself. All the elements were first stitched on white fabric, cut out and then stitched on to the background. I used fabric paint on the pie slice using stencils that I made.
Yummy! One of my favorites, and I love how the all white quilt makes the pie slice stand out! You've done a beautiful job with this quilt, Andrea!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Alice, I really had fun with this.
DeleteGreat minds think alike - well sort of!! Love this and yes your pie looks quite yummy showing up as it does against the white! Carved key in the chair back is brilliant. Bravo!!
ReplyDeleteAndrea, I love the drama in this quilt! The lime against the white is so effective. I think you should do more little quilts like this - a new style for you!!! Perfecto!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the suggestion Carolyn, I was actually thinking of that myself . At least two more for a series. "Ice cream" might be the next one!
DeleteWhat an awesome interpretation of "Key" ! And as others have mentioned, I love the stark contrast of the key lime color against the stark white ! AND.... I think you deserve extra points for the carved key in your chair ! ! !
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Kathy, I really appreciate your enthusiasm!
