I have been meaning to blog about this quilt for-EVER! I have to admit, I’ve had this done for a little while, I just have had my focus on work and family and traveling lately, and never seemed to find a minute to write about this quilt! And– I have to admit– when I would have a minute, I’d use it to sew.
This quilt was my own design, and I shared a tutorial for the blocks here on my blog. The lovely members of the Love circle of Do. Good Stitches all sent me these blocks, and as you can see, they did such a great job! You really can’t tell where one block begins and another ends, which is exactly what I was going for.
I also found that the mixed neutrals in the background really helped keep the quilt cohesive. I’m loving mixed neutrals lately!
Although it will be hard to part with, this quilt is off to Wrap Them In Love. I’ll have to make another with my scraps to live at my house!
I was also *so* lucky to be able to meet some of my fellow bee members at the QuiltCon conference in Austin last month. We had a lovely breakfast, and I am so happy to be part of this group. If you’re thinking about joining a bee that makes quilts for charity, you can find more info about this particular organization here. I’m already looking forward to getting my blocks in the mail this month for my next quilt for the group!
love the finish….I love the autumn like colors. It looks very cold, the photos look amazing – you are very game 🙂
Fabulous – on all levels!
This one turned out so fabulous, Natalie! I love the colors. You are part of a very talented circle. How fun that you got to meet up in Austin!
I just love this quilt – the design, the colors, everything! Great job Natalie! 🙂
Someone is lucky to receive such a beautiful quilt.
I love this one so much! And I think you are right, the mix of neutrals makes this even better. I think one thing I am learning about myself in the past year is that I like depth in quilts and fabric. I like solids…but there is something to fabrics like Sketch or Crossweaves that adds a little bit more. I think that is the effect I see in this quilt. It’s absolutely stunning! And seriously, your pictures are always wonderful…I need to find some go to places for quilt pics. 🙂
This is one of my favorite quilts ever. I loved making the blocks, and the resulting quilt is freaking astounding. xoxo
The quilt is so beautiful and will surel warm a fortunate person. Thanks for sharing and I must try to make quilt after your tutorial.
beautiful, it’s such a great quilt Natalie.
Gorgeous quilt, Natalie and bee buddies! I love the mixed neutrals too – it adds such richness to the quilt.
Great photography as usual – you find the best spots. That bench is amazing!
This is such a fabulous quilt and getting beautiful blocks from good friends, it’s just stitched full of love. I know it will be cherished by it’s lucky recipient:-)
What a beautiful quilt! And beautiful photos as usual. Thanks for sharing!
Gosh, I can’t get over this quilt! It is definitely one of my favorites that we’ve made together (and it seems there have been quite a few by now!). Your color choice was awesome. I’m loving the mixed neutrals too. So easy and so good!
I am putting this on my list of quilts to make. I have a stash of fabrics in mind! Thanks for sharing this.
Great quilt, and I applaud your courage to part with such a wonderful piece of art. Lovely!
[…] is what Natalie put together with the submissions. You can see more pictures of the final quilt here. Isn’t it amazing what a group of people, each making two blocks, can create? I printed out […]
