Well, actually, I participated in the creation of a red and green quilt!
A few months ago Renee Plains, of Liberty Star fame, honored me by asking if I would help her get ready for Spring Market by piecing a large quilt for her...
Potting Shed
It was a collaborative affair...I did the piecing and she did the applique.
Whitney Erickson, co-owner of TOWQS, did the machine quilting.
As usual, it so much more vibrant in person!
No wildflowers to show here in AZ! The heat isn't as bad as I had imagined.
My R&W quilt will definitely be slow going here. I am using my daughter's machine and I don't quite have that scant 1/4" seam allowance thingy figured out yet! It took me over an hour this am to piece just one 3" block.
I had a delightful mid morning visit to the shoppe and picked up some FQs I just had to have for Caroline's Pinwheels. Let's see...I started this quilt to use up stash...I have used the last of 4 different fabrics so far...I purchased 10 new FQs...I don't think I am making progress!
But you can't wipe the smile off my face!
Beautiful, Cheryl, just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is beautiful! I'm glad I'm not the only one that uses up their stash that way - lol!
