Making a Quilt with Negative Space: A Quilt for Dan Part 2

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Have you made a quilt with lots of negative space? How did you find the process?

[@susanrascone2098]

I made your improve quilt along, solid grey with pops of brights. I did not like the negative grey nor the improv method. But I finished it and donated it. Happy New Year from C C C Cold and snowy Ontario.

@susanrascone2098 sorry you didn’t enjoy it! I suppose we don’t know if we don’t try. Good for you for getting it finished and donated.

@@ScrapFabricLove I have NOT made a quilt with lots of negative space and wouldn’t have thought I’d like it … BUT I love what you did with Dan’s quilt!! Love the colors … I think it was the grey linen 🥰 absolutely beautiful ! You’re a scrappy genius 🥳

[@desleybartlett322]

Love the quilt. Another success. Also loved watching your. "What you made in 2024" video Desley🇦🇺

[@heathergenovese567]

Love it!

[@anneinstx1969]

Love your creativity and ingenuity. Great looking quilt. So glad your Stepdad liked it too.

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Thanks!

[@imogenethomas1138]

Wow! I love all the negative space, and especially the quilting pattern you and Dan came up with. The colors are perfect for his space. Great job!

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Thanks so much!

[@ChooseForToday]

Gorgeous!! I love linen, and apparently using linen and 100% cotton is healing, with good vibrations.

[@GlynisReynolds]

This is a great quilt idea for a man’s quilt and I love the way you have quilted it 🤩 The quilting looks so good but fairly simple to do too 🤔🥰

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Thank you so much!

[@katethompson2818]

What a great quilt! And your process was helpful. I also often overdo colours and pattern, so this was good to see. Lucky Dan!

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Thanks so much! Glad you liked it!

[@katehenry2718]

Amazing thought process! Imagine asking for details from the person it goes to.... like they'd have any idea at all. Their magic word is "quilt"... thing on the bed...warm...the rest is huge blank.

[@ScrapFabricLove]

I like to ask at least if they want more modern or traditional and if they get interested at that point I keep asking more questions. Dan had some definite ideas!

[@TerryCowans]

What a wonderfully handsome quilt! Great job!

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Thank you!

[@susanrascone2098]

It looks great in his house, well done Kristin.

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Thank you!

[@tammyswearingen1011]

It's good to know that I'm not the only one who over thinks projects 😊

[@roseswalls3468]

Wow, Kristen....I so love this. I totally love your quilting on it. I have never made a quilt with negative space but I do love them.

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Thanks so much!

[@dragonfliesfordonna2112]

The colors picked are AMAZING the way they play together! 🥰

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Thank you!

[@lauriknox2486]

It's wonderful!!!! I've not done anything with massive negative space, but Dan's quilt it beautiful and something I would love to have! As I've told you many times before, I am so inspired by your process. Thanks for sharing!

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Thanks so much! 💕

[@greenquiltsgalore1326]

Kristen, that was very successful! Your graphic picked up the colours in his living room perfectly. The quilting pattern is very effective, too.

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Thank you!

[@jmur8784]

Awesome job, Kristen! I love that you interpreted that one print as the quilting design. Brilliant!

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Thank you! That quilting idea was totally Dan’s and it was a great one - I’ll probably use it again some time.

[@annettelundy7426]

This project is VERY inspiring!!! I'm in LOVE with the finished quilt.

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Thank you so much!

[@AntisocialAuntie]

Your casualness of making a quilt is very helpful. I have been intimidated to start because I know my points will never match 😊

[@ScrapFabricLove]

There are so many different types of quilts out there - not all of them have points to match. I find it fun to experiment with different types of quilts - maybe you would too!

[@AntisocialAuntie]

@ScrapFabricLove I am definitely going to try the more artistic approach 🧡

[@reaanneservia3866]

@@AntisocialAuntie … but it gets easier and you get better with each one ! And you can be amazed how points will match !!! Don’t be intimidated!!! I am relatively new to the quilting craft and am amazed at the progression 🙌. I find by using beautiful fabrics… it’s all good!

[@AntisocialAuntie]

@reaanneservia3866 Thank you for that! I keep telling myself this will be like knitting and each little step is fairly simple, just practice, but my brain is stubborn sometimes and refuses to listen to my own logic! Your words are calming though, and I truly appreciate it 🧡

[@Art930]

I like everything about it and it inspires me to think outside my usual colour choices.

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Thanks!

[@pennyskelton1851]

Really lovely. It looks gorgeous in his room.

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Thank you! 😊

[@reaanneservia3866]

I LOVE ❤it!!! lucky Dan, you did a fabulous job … thank you for sharing your process … I am learning and most appreciative 🎉

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Thanks so much! So glad you liked it!

[@patstrawhouse4005]

Hey, Kristen! Well, you’ve done it once again! The design and colours in the quilt are beautiful and definitely suits his space! I admire your ability to evaluate, modify, and edit when needed. Thanks for shar8ng! Wishing you and yours a safe, healthy, and Happy New Year! Muskoka ON 🇨🇦

Thank you so much 😀

[@bettylarks8134]

I think your quilt turned out perfectly.

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Thank you!

[@Sam_the_quilter]

love this. I love how brave you are just going at it. I REALLY wish I had that confidence to do it.

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Thanks! If I sit around thinking about it too much it just gets less clear for me - so starting usually helps my thought process….but different folk have different processes that work for them. You just have to find the one that works for you.

[@coreygilles847]

It looks beautiful (and manly). I think it turned out wonderful 🎉

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Thank you!

[@laurajones7417]

Excellent job! I know Dan loves it!

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Thanks!

[@debbieberry9585]

I can't wait to see the finished quilt! ❤

[@Sewwithdebee]

Appreciate your design process - improv for the win - I recently acquired a cast away project and will do pretty much what you have done - so liberating

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Good luck with your project!

[@AuntDi2]

It turned out awesome! I have always wanted to make a negative space quilt with whites/ecru and small improv random colors sprinkled throughout.

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Sounds lovely!

[@margaretretter3665]

It is a very masculine quilt.Love the quilting.

[@ScrapFabricLove]

I love that idea for a quilting design. Hope you don’t mind if I try it on one of my quilts. I do my own quilting on a domestic machine and I think this is doable
