I’m so excited to finally share my finished Do. Good Stitches quilt!
Last weekend when I was visiting my parents in Cleveland we drove up to Squires Castle (located in a nearby metro park, and open to the public) to take some photos of the finished quilt.
The members of my circle did an amazing job, and although my original plan was to cut up and re-piece all of the strips I received, I couldn’t bring myself to do it! Each strip was so unique and they all looked so amazing together, I just lined up them and added a red border. Deb was kind enough to send a bit extra, and I *love* how the extra chevrons look in the border. Perfect!
For the back of the quilt, I raided my stash for red and white fabrics and used a patchwork style to keep things bright and fun!
Ok, so I was also taking photos of another finished quilt that day– one I plan to blog about soon!– and here’s a sneak peek! Of course Simon needed to sneak into the picture.
Thanks so much to everyone in the Love circle who contributed to this quilt! I think it will make one kid very happy!
You continue to amaze me, Natalie! This quilt is so fabulous and fun. You always have the best photo shoots! Very excited to see more of the quilt on the right, too!
Oh, this is fun & great setting for your shoot, too! Thanks for sharing:)
Great pictures! The bleakness of the stone with the stark snow and those pops of gorgeous color …. fabulous! Simon was a great little model too
What a stunning backdrop for your beautiful quilt!
Just the best quilt location photos I have enjoyed in a long time!
I’m sure that quilt will make someone very happy! What a great location for a photo shoot

I think quilts belong in castles. Just sayin. Or maybe we who have quilts kind of live in castles? Maybe.
These are some of my favorite quilt pictures EVER! The brown castle, the white snow, and the bright quilt … amazing. And the quilt is just gorgeous. Such a great design plan.
[...] Natalie of Greenleaf Goods totally stole our hearts during our blog visits this week with the pictures of her do. Good Stitches quilt. Bright pink, purple, and yellow against the background of a snowy castle? Be still our hearts! At first we thought, oh this is in the U.K. somewhere. Nope, right in the middle (well, almost middle) of the United States, in none other than Cleveland, Ohio. We think every town should have a castle for taking shots of your quilts for your blog, don’t you? [...]

That place is LOVELY! Your photos look as if they should be in the next Kaffe Fassett book! Great styling!
I enjoyed the quilts and the castle…well worth the effort of driving to the castle. I loved seeing the quilts this way.
