Aunt Verna's Cottage- quilted
 
5 Attachment(s)
I created this quilt top from an image of a pattern I saw. I didn't have the pattern. It worked well for me for using a large scale print that I didn't want to cut too small.
The two individual block components are Square in a Square, and Indian Star.
Then I got a few suggestions on the board last spring for making the borders. (The burnt orange fabric was a fQ I got from my son for Mother's day, and I wanted to incorporate it right away into this project that I had just started the day before. It was not part of my original idea but I like it now.) This is a very generous full size.

The top sat around for a while: a lady in waiting, as they say. It has been professionally quilted. The quilter and I collaborated quite a bit on the quilting theme of the quilt. We both love it and I am so pleased!

Those two block designs look great together and I'm going to have to borrow that border idea - the corners look like the old-fashioned photo corners. Nice idea.

What a great way to incorporate the fq. I would have never thought of anything like that. Very creative and very pretty.

Very Nice. Love the quilting.

Love that pattern, and the orange in the border really makes it pop. I also think the quilted spirals with the loop in the center are very effective - and so consistently done. Beautiful!

Love your quilt. I'll have to create the pieces in EQ7 and make one of those. Looks like a quick easy pattern to re create and make.

Whigrose 03-10-2012 08:18 PM

Wowzers! Love the colors and the pattern. Using the geometric in the points is awesome.

Great quilt.

best,

Beautiful job

QM 03-10-2012 11:20 PM

Looks good. I do a lot of that too. I may see something when I am out and about then 'sorta' recreate it, and maybe give it a twist, when I get home.

stitchinbee 03-11-2012 04:36 AM
