Antique Quilt

O alta pasiune de-a mea este designul interior. Ador sa rasfoiesc reviste de amenajari interioare si am acasa rafturi intregi cu asemenea reviste si carti.
Una din cartile mele preferate de design interior este “Paris Interiors”. In aceasta carte am gasit aceasta fotografie in care se vede un quilt simplu, alcatuit doar din patrate, care mi-a placut foarte mult si, nu stiu de ce, mi s-a lipit de suflet. Imi doream si eu sa fac unul asemenea.

Another passion of mine is interior design. I love to leaf through interior design books and magazines and I have shelves full of them.
One of my favourite book of interior design is “Paris Interiors”. I found this photo with an antique quilt made with squares. I liked it very much and, for an unknown reason, it stuck to my soul. I was planning to make a similar one.

Pe de alta parte, sotul meu mi-a adus intr-o zi un tablou, pe care nici acum nu ma pot hotari daca sa-l plac sau nu :)
On the other hand, my husband brought me this painting one day. I cannot decide yet whether to like it or not.

M-am decis sa-l asez in hol si sa fac un quilt dupa modelul celui din fotografie, care sa i se potriveasca ca si colorit.
I decided to hang it in the hall and make a quilt to match the painting (I mean the colours), taking my inspiration from the quilt in the first photo.
Asta e ceea ce a iesit:
This is what I succeeded to do:

Am folosit materiale cumparate dintr-un magazin second hand ca sa-i dau un aspect de “vechi”. Am reusit desi nu stiu daca din fotografie reiese prea bine.
I used vintage fabrics to make the quilt looking “old”. It does look “old” even if it is not so obvious in the picture.
