#scrappytripalong was made with the impromptu Instagram-a-long back in January. It is one of my most favorite quilts I've ever made. Once it was finished up, I knew the perfect place to get a photo. My hubby works in an industrial park with train tracks running all throughout it, and right by his work there are rusty old train cars just begging to be used for a photo-op. And really what is more perfect for a trip around the world quilt, than hopping on a train?
Quilt Stats:
Dimensions: 72" square
Fabrics: a huge assortment, though the backing has a lot of Sarah Jane fabrics. =)
Batting: 80/20 gloriousness (not sure on brand)
Machine pieced and quilted by me on my Husqvarna Viking 80/20.

Love this quilt and I love it even more with all the Sarah Jane on the back! Those Narwhals get me every time!
ReplyDeleteI love the contrast of soft and pretty quilt with hard and rusty train!
ReplyDeleteLove this photo. I am always seeing places and thinking wow what a great idea for a quilty photo shoot and then well I end up snapping a quick picture on my iphone because I'm lazy. This looks great, love the thought process. The quilt is pretty too. I love these scrappy trips with a cohesive color scheme.

ReplyDeleteI want some good 'rustic' locations for photos darnit! Love this one!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of the train car as a back drop. I personally would love to try it myself, but I have heard that it is illegal to do so unless you are a railway employee. I do love your quilt and photos of it.
ReplyDeleteProbably so. These are old out of commission cars that have been sitting by my hubby's work parking lot for the 4 years he's worked there. They are often used as setting for photos =)
