IF you really want a quilt You have to do a LOT of this.PINNING.
Not my favorite part.
Then you have to do a lot of this.QUILTING.
Not my favorite part either.
This is MY favorite part.
FINISHING.
And then...I'm so glad I did all that work...
because I have a VERY satisfied feeling that says...
"I did it!"
I blogged about this quilt here.
You can see I have that Disappearing 9 patch
around the outside for a border.
I love how all these flowery fabrics go together!
Jean will enjoy the happy feeling they inspire!
I even had my "handy dandy" box of 2 1/2" strips for binding.
All those floral strips are lookin' good around this one.
Don't you think?

Very pretty, cheerful and lovely. Just the kind of quilt it would feel good to cuddle up in and take an afternoon nap!

ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteI really LOVE this quilt.. it has a reminiscence of the way quilts used to be made. It's simple and so-o-o beautiful!!
the pinning.... i only pinned one quilt...then someone told me about the adhesive spray... and i can't imagine pinning any quilt again. it's easy, it's fast, it's washable, and done!!
it's also blogged about here:
