I love this kind of quilt! It's so cozy and so welcoming-like outstretched arms. This is a top Deborah gave me at the Houston Quilt Festival. We had swapped some scraps so when it came back, I still had enough of the blue for a nice border. It was fun looking at the prints she combined. For the solid squares I did a little handwriting quilting. It was so fun that I think I'll be doing more of that in my donation quilts. Thanks Deborah! Love teamwork!
It always tickles me to have a great backing for these tops already in my stash. Here's a thrifted sheet perfect for the backing. As I was pressing it, I discovered 2 small holes. I was so thankful I had decided to look more closely before I put it on the frame. A few seams later and it was ready for service.
Join in the Discussion! I would love to know what you think.
Have a Thankful Day, Y'All!
This is so pretty, and the quilting makes it special. Good job all! Happy Thanksgiving, Debra.
ReplyDeleteThis is maybe my second favorite pattern. Love the colors-they are really pretty and soft. Very clever with the writing too. I could see more of that.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving to you and Wes. Have a good day today:)
Fabulous! The quilting and backing are just perfect. I'm really pleased that this is going to a young girl!
ReplyDeleteThat's so cool to have the writing in the quilting. And this is pretty top, I like how the stars almost seem to play hide & seek with your eyes.
ReplyDeleteThe writing looks great. As I look at the back I wondered if you could reverse load it on the frame and follow the outline of a print like the sheet? I guess it would be too labor intensive on these quick pieces for donation but on a keeper or possibly smaller piece it might be very nice.
ReplyDeleteThe hummingbird looks as though it took forever to do. Worth every minute. Just beautiful.
Hope your turkey day was a good one.
Wonderful quilting! Hope you had a nice Turkey Day!
ReplyDeleteThe quilted messages are wonderful: a little bonus for the recipient.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great quilt to give. Anyone receiving it would be warmed inside, as well as out.
