I was in need of a comfort quilt
for a dear friend...
I spent the weekend in the Thread Shed
and stitched up this floral quilt:
I pawed through the fabric cupboards
and found lots of large floral fabrics
leftover from previous quilts...it's a start !
The center of the quilt is a square
with very large pink iris:
These were only scraps of fabrics so I had
to use what I had. I had just enough of the
yellow to frame the center.
Then I built around the center like a log cabin
block until the quilt was lap size...
Here is a close up view of the fabrics:
The iris and tulips are the size of my hands...
It was so FUN to work with these
large florals again !
By Day 2... I was machine quilting:
I quilted a quick overall curly design
and completed the machine quilting
in a few hours.
I used a pink variegated thread and it blended
nicely on the dark and light fabrics both...
I had enough of the light pink rose fabric
to make the binding...
I was lucky to find several yards of this
large rose fabric in the cupboard
for the backing...
Sometimes everything just falls into place,
you have everything you need...
I am putting this in the mail today
to comfort a dear friend.
