has been made on that new quilt I shared with you a few days ago (click here). The top has been pieced, the backing made and now we're onto basting!
I feel a crazy joy for this quilt, not only in the colours, but in seeing the results of combining all those low volume fabrics for the background. Since this quilt is a gift in the making, I don't want to give away the final layout just yet, which is why I'm only giving sneak peeks. ;o)
Want to see something else that has me dancing around on tippy toes?
Maybe you will remember me mentioning that the mosaic I entered at
was selected as a co-winner in their contest?
Here's the mosaic...
and shown below is the recently received
FQ bundle, sent from the lovely ladies at Mad About Patchwork as my prize!
Huge thank-you to Pam, Laura and Kaisa
Everything is so gorgeous! I have not seen any of these fabrics in person before, so I was quite excited to receive them and marvel at how nicely they all look together. Much arranging and admiring took place when I was making my mosaic for the contest, and more has taken place since the fabrics have arrived! Oh, how I love to play with fabric and dream about what I will sew with them - has to be one of my most favourite things to do. :o)
Okay, I've got some deadlines to meet, so I best get cracking.
Happy stitching!
New quilt. New fabric. Life is good!
ReplyDeleteI agree with the other Susan- new fabric and a new quilt- happiness all round!
ReplyDeleteThe quilt top is looking mighty fine so far, even though we're only getting a little peek - maybe if we told the intended recipient not to peek, you could post a bigger picture? ;)
ReplyDeleteThe fabrics from Mad About Patchwork are really pretty - especially the fabric with the orange background and bow-tied flowers - it's such a nice collection!
Congrats on a well deserved win. Even without seeing the whole top, I can see why the colours in this quilt are giving you a kind of crazy joy. They're doing the same for me.
ReplyDeleteReading in reverse here - love how the LV fabrics play with the pink and orange. This is my kind of quilt - too much to hope that it's coming my way?haha
