There's not a lot of sewing going on at Quiltsalott this week so I'll show you a quilt I finished last year in the red and green. You'll probably recognise this quilt if you are a fan of Piece O' Cake designs. It's in their book Flowering Favourites which is now out of print You may be able to pick it up somewhere.
I hand quilted this in a basic grid design, it has a cotton batting so it has that lovely texture I love. You can click on the photo to get a closer look.
This is all I managed on the machine this week, three more nearly insane blocks, #'s 12, 15 and 16
A big thanks to Kathie who told people about me and also to those who visited and left some very kind comments. I appreciate it! Also thanks to other bloggers who have been so helpful to me when I've needed it, I have some basic computer skills and this is still a learning process for me.

That's a gorgeous quilt! You can be very proud of it.
ReplyDeleteThose little blocks are so cute, but I can totally see why they're called insane! The red and white is so fresh, it will be good to keep an eye on your progress...
Cheers!

ReplyDeleteand have always loved that quilt, I doubt I will ever make it so when you get tired of yours you know where to send it too! I promise to give it a good home!
