Here is the other quilt made for this Shop Hop. This fabric has been out for about 9 months, but since we haven't made anything, it's just been sitting around the shop. An actual quilt always moves fabric. So here it is.
This quilt was inspired by a quilt in the June issue of American Patchwork and Quilting. Only that quilt had little blue pieced stars forming an Irish Chain. I chose to just use solid blocks instead of making 25! 4" stars. Works for me.
It's really the border fabric that makes this quilt work. I love that scalloped print. It makes the quilt look like an old fashioned handkerchief. And do you like my mitered corner? I'm shocked and amazed that I did it! I used Amy's tutorial. [Thanks, Amy!]And do you also like the fact that the quilt is not even bound when I took the picture? That is my project right now while I watch the pre-recorded SYTYCD (so you think you can dance) as well as finish assembling the kits. Then I think I can catch my breath. Thanks again for your encouragement and kind comments. Happy Thursday!

Very pretty! Is that the same fabric that was used for Patchwork Party Winter 2008?

ReplyDeleteI love the quilt, looks awesome.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty - the scalloped border is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that!
ReplyDeleteThat is just beautiful...looks like an antique, the colors are soooo rich. I guess I really need to finish the couple of quilt kits I bought years and years ago and then I can start on something new an fresh...but....I refuse to start something new when I have these other ones in my fabric closet!:) Thanks again for all the wonderful inspiration.
ReplyDeletelovely!!! i saw this quilt in the magazine and i like it (i have those fabrics too) but yours is great!!! love the corners!!! you did a perfect job. hermoso!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! It looks like it could be a vintage quilt. I love the soft colors. I was hemming and sewing on cub scout patches while I watched SYTYCD last night. Who was your favorite. I love Randi and Evan, they are so spunky, but I think my favorite dance last night might have been Karla and Jonathan.
ReplyDeleteThat's beautiful! Just using the the two colors is perfect - the red stars shine on that lovely blue background.
ReplyDeleteLove your quilt. I agree the border does remind me of an old fashion hankerchief. Mitered corners too! you should be so proud :)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! Love the blue and red together. And those robots from the previous posts are adorable!!
ReplyDeleteYour quilts are always amazing but I really LOVE this one. It is gorgeous great job!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt!
ReplyDeleteJust saw your post on your new Rowenta. I, too, found a great deal on a Rowenta at Tuesday Morning about a year and a half ago--it broke-leaks water out the bottom of the iron if I fill it more than an inch. When it spit all over my son-in-law's dress shirt, being ironed for a wedding he was performing, decided to get a new iron and retire the so called great Rowenta. So I thought I'd share with you. Hope you have better luck.All the gals I work with also haven't had good luck with them.
Great sample! That border fabric IS so pretty :) I won't be down for any shop hopping - I hope you have fun, and come home with lots of ideas!
ReplyDeleteWe should plan something while schools out . . .
Beautiful...I love that fabric. thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis one is just lovely!! I come by often but don't remember if I have commented. I really do enjoy seeing all the beautiful quilts you have made. Thanks for sharing. I live in Virginia and after seeing so many quilters in blog land from the west I would love to visit out your way. :)
ReplyDeleteSo so so pretty!
