.... a finished quilt....
When I got these lovely fabrics from Sharon in the OASS swap in November
and I saw Dawn Hays pattern in the Homespun Magazine (Issue 12.10) I knew they would work together beautifully..... you can see the start of this quilt HERE ...
I quilted around each of the flowers...
and did feathers on the border ....
and straight line quilting in the coin parts....
we have had some rather dull grey days so a gentle sun on a pretty quilt...
is going to cheer up any day.....
Thanks to Sharon for getting me out and about using some new colours of fabrics and thanks to Dawn for a lovely pattern..
there's enough fabric to make the cushion in the pattern shown in the top picture.....
Righto, Gotta Go..... new quilt to start
Wow, I'd be happy if I'd made that gorgeous quilt too. Lovely colours and gorgeous quilting. You're a whizz!
ReplyDeleteWOW Fiona, it looks spectacular. I am a little (well a lot!) chuffed that I had something to do with this quilt comming to life :o) (Yes some days I will take any credit I can get ... lol ) And you cushion is just perfect .... always did like that pattern, might have to go and get one for me now :o) hugs, Sharon
