I Did It! Week #6

Monday, June 29, 2009

ididit-mon

About 9 years ago, I finished the king-sized quilt that we now use on our bed.  It’s called Nana’s Garden.  It has 63 different fabrics in it.  I had it professionally quilted.  I really love this quilt for many reasons.  I love the precision required in the piecing and the shortcuts that made it easier than it looks.  I really got OCD about it because I didn’t want any two blocks to be exactly the same.  I like the light weight batting I chose so we can use the quilt for summer and winter.  Jillian inspected it for me when I first got it back from the quilter and gave it her seal of approval.  I hope you like it, too.

Beautiful quilt!! I've got a quilt that I thought about having quilted by someone with a machine quilter, but then the cost holds me back. It's currently done, but I wasn't happy with the job I did.

Hello Clara,
I love patchwork but don´t know how to do it. My mother knows but she doesn´t want to do big projects anymore.
I always wanted one of this quilts but they are very expensive so I bought a simple one.
Your quilt is sooo beautiful, awsome work! You´re a gifted lady :)
Good week ahead :)

Your quilt is beautiful, my SIL was so creative and enjoyed this art form when she was alive. I was never gifted in the sewing department, but it doesn't stop me from enjoying the beauty.
