Life has been a little busy around here, to say the least! J and I have some big changes coming up soon, and the planning has been consuming quite a bit of my time! Unfortunately I’ve fallen a bit behind on my blog reading and replying to comments here– so I do apologize for the silence, and I do appreciate everyone who has stopped by my little old blog.
I finished this quilt a few months back, and just realized I hadn’t shared any of the pictures! This sucker is queen sized (and was kind of a beast to quilt on my little machine, but I’m proud I managed it!). I love this style of quilt– just improvisational squares, no sashing, and a scrappy red border and binding. I could make a million more quilts this way!
In this photo you can see it was a *little* difficult for Justin to hold it up by himself.
(I do love those puppies from Sherbert Pips!!)
I didn’t get any pics of the back, because I just used a plain gray flannel sheet. I love how soft and warm this quilt is, it was the best to cuddle under in the winter! I’m sure we’ll get a lot of use out of it when the cold months return.
As usual…wait for it…great quilt and great photos. I need to think of something more original to say!
Such a lovely quilt. The red and greys are perfect for both summer and winter 🙂
I love every improv squares quilt you make, and this one is fabulous, too! The greys and reds look so nice and crisp, perfect for a winter quilt. Good luck with all your life changes on the horizon!!
I love this! Such a great bunch of fabrics. I love how you quilted it too. Beautiful!
Pretty, pretty! And I am super-impressed at your quilting on your home machine!!
i love how it looks. the red and grey are a perfect combination. love the simple quilting also! xo
What beautiful photos!
I recently found your blog and saw the quilt top. It inspired me a lot. Now I know how I’ll do some sort of sampler quilt that is on my mind. Maybe not this year but maybe next year. I like the quilt a lot.
Your blog inspired me in different ways. If I only could find the time to sew.
It’s so happy, Natalie! I love the colors, and the background you chose to photograph it with is the perfect contrast. I’m interested to hear about these changes you speak of!
