Park City Girl is having a blogger quilt show of favourite quilts. I *think* this has to be my favourite. It's a "Saturday Sampler" from a quilt store which took me several years to get around to finishing. I had loved some of the blocks, hated others, loved the setting fabrics but hated the way the orignal setting came together... Eventually I decided to give it to my friend Sarah for her birthday and got on with finishing it in this simple setting. That's when I fell in love with it - I don't know why, I think it's just pretty fabrics and simple.
And Sarah? I finished this quilt and gave it to her
I agree the fabrics are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI like the colors! Great work.
ReplyDeleteI feel like "so many quilts to see, so little time" yours deserves a cheery comment. It's a great quilt.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous quilt! So glad that you shared it!
ReplyDeleteAwesome job. I love the colors too. Such pretty fabric.
ReplyDeleteLove the color combination. A bit different from a lot of the others.
ReplyDeletesometimes its love at first sight, and others just have to grow on you! Glad, having fallen in love, you decided to make another for your friend.
ReplyDeleteThe setting really makes it. Sometimes the whole is worth more than the sum of the parts - very Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.
ReplyDeleteI have some books to get in the post to you too.
Beautiful quilt! Love the one for Sarah too :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the color combination.
ReplyDeleteWhat is not to like about this one everything about it is absolutely terrific. Love the quilting as well
ReplyDeleteTrue the quilt is very simple, but also true it is very beautiful. I hope you enjoy it every time you see it.
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful quilt. It is amazing how are perspectives can change. I know that I have put together quilts I have not liked and then suddenly finding a way to change something about it as made me love it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous quilt, thanks for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteFunny how things turn out beautiful when we aren't sure at first! Great work - thanks for sharing :)

ReplyDeleteAren't you glad you stuck with it until you fell in love with it? It's a beauty. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Great job!
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa - love the quilt and I'm really glad you decided to keep it for yourself. Thanks for visiting my quilt. Do have a go at using the embroidered pieces. It is really fun and nice to be able to see them rather than them being shut away in a cupboard. I hope you'll visit my blog again.
