Labyrinth - Arabella Rose by RJR Fabrics

This weekend was very productive for me.  I was able to get the Labyrinth (Calico Carriage Quilt Design by Debbie Maddy) in the Arabella Rose by RJR Fabrics pieced and quilted.  Purple is not a color that I usually sew with, not that I don't like purple.  But looking though my quilts, I have noticed that there is just not much purple.  I tend to go to blue...a lot (that is my favorite color). 
 

When I saw this line and especially the large floral.  I just knew I need to sew with it. 


This is my third Labyrinth.  I love the pattern.  It looks so difficult, but I can piece the top in a good 5 hours.  I just love how the maze pattern looks.  To me it is important for the maze to look seamless, I have to use fabrics that you can not easily pick out the seams.  The fabrics on the bolts that are used to make some of the maze pieces.

 

I just quilted the Labyrinth in a all over leafy vine.   I used a cream/tan paisley for the backing.  
 


Thanks for letting me share my work from this weekend.  I was able to get the quilt pieced and quilted this weekend, but the binding didn't make it on until yesterday.

  3. I don't think I have ever seen the Labyrinth pattern in something other than batiks- it looks very nice! I've had my eye on that pattern or awhile now.
