This reminds me of all the mattresses stacked precariously one on top the other in the Princess and the Pea fable, hence its name. I have wanted to do a stacked books or stacked coins (??) type quilt since seeing this one by Svetlana of s.o.t.a.k handmade. The prints are 2 1/2" wide strips of varying lengths, all centred on a Kona snow background.
This is the back of my I Spy a Charm (Matilda) quilt. I love the idea of double sided quilts - being able to change the look of the bed simply by flipping the quilt over. It does have drawbacks though, namely having to choose quilting and binding that will work with both sides.

Lovely idea of the princess. I can imagine this for my granddaughter with an appligue princess on top. I love the colors and your quilting. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHappy Xmas and New Year.
Thanks for linking up with me for TGIFF. This is such a fun pieced back! I recently finished a quilt that I used stacked coins/books on a pieced back. I really liked using my scraps from the front. http://www.goer.org/sarah/2014/10/01/candy-shoppe-in-natural-light/

ReplyDeleteA GREAT SPELL CASTER (DR. EMU) THAT HELP ME BRING BACK MY EX GIRLFRIEND.
ReplyDeleteAm so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me. She broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make her believe me but she never believed me until one day i heard about the DR. EMU and I emailed him and he replied to me so kindly and helped me get back my lovely relationship that was already gone for two months.
