I'm been doing some sewing, and I have 1 square of the last 2 Wild Women quilts!
This is the "Pink Lemonade" quilt that was on a PBS Eleanor Burns show. You can see her show on this here:Eleanor Burns PBS
I have to say I'm really happy that it was on PBS, because I was under the impression that the 2 flying geese were the same color. and they are not!!!! they are different to make the chevrons! I really think they make it stand out more.
There are a lot of parts, but those 4 squares and Chevron's are 6.5"
Sew, While I am Leader ending the 4 squares, and the flying geese for the PINK LEMONADE, I'm assembling this quilt for my DD's wedding.
She was actually married on July 6th,13 but I told her I needed one yr to get it together. Especially w my new quilting machine, I wanted some experience w it first!
Jo at Country Junction has been making the same one too... it was a UFO as it is at my house! LOL
Hers is scrappy but I had this Kaffee Fasset fabric for years. At that time I wasn't into scrappy, I wanted it to be organised.
I liked her idea of corner stones which is not on the original scrappy design. I dug around and found my center fabric. Yeah there was enough to make all of the cornerstones! you can see hers here :Jo's Country Junction
On the unfinished areas on my spare 'design' bed the corner stones really make it pop! The one problem I have with this quilt is they are now moving and will be getting a king sized bed. there is no way this will ever be a king sized quilt, as it would need 64 more blocks. I don't have enough of the fabric to do that. I might get 1 or 2 more rows but not that many. It very possible that this will never leave my home, and I will make her a new one.
I've finished all of the 4 patches for the last 2 quilts. and now am assembling the Chevrons out of two of the Flying geese.
I love your fabric selection for DDs quilt! It's so bright and the cornerstones help make the blocks pop. ~Melanie
ReplyDeleteYou could give the quilt to your daughter as a sofa/lap quilt and promise her a king-sized quilt once they're settled and have determined their décor. The design is so appealing, and the cornerstones set the blocks off well.
ReplyDeleteI FINALLY got my Odds and Ends quilt top together. I am hoping to get some pictures taken and post in on the blog this week.
ReplyDeleteOh I love that happy quilt!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty blocks and so cheerful. I see you are an Ohio girl, hubby and I both grew up in Northern Ohio and spent two week there in Sept/Oct.
