This is for my best friend as a birthday/Christmas present. I actually mucked up the pattern a little, but I decided it wasnt worth tearing out all the stitches once I discovered the problem.
This was the first quilt I took to a LAQ and I was very pleased with her work. She did exactly what I wanted in the time frame she quoted me. My only issue is that the quilt smells like her/her house - a little overy perfumed. But, a good washing will take care of that. Anyway, enjoy! |
Very nice.... What is the name of your pattern? Quillting looks neat - can't tell, is there a theme to the quilting?
|
Your quilt is beautiful. I love the colors and the pattern. I am sure she will be very pleased to receive your quilt. I know that I sure would.
|
The pattern is called Venetian Dreams from a Fons & Porter magazine earlier in the year.
The quilting is kind of hard to see but it's a large paisley pattern, similar to what's on the lighter orange fabric (although it's hard to tell). |
Good job. I really like your colour choices :thumbup:
|
Oooo I love the fabrics and this pattern!!! You did a beautiful job on it :D:D:D
|
Hey this is really cool! great job!
|
I sure the quilt will be well loved! It's very pretty!
|

|
Very pretty quilt-and the quilting really does it justice.
|
I love your quilt, it looks fabulous!
|
That's just beautiful!!
|
Very pretty. Great colors. :thumbup:
|
It's beautiful. I like the fabrics and the pattern.
|
Ohhhhhh the colors are wonderful! And only you will "know" that you "mucked up" the pattern. Your best friend will be just thrilled! Great job!
|
I think you did an awesome job on it. She's gonna LOVE it for sure.
|
Beautiful quilt!!!

Do you have the pattern for this quilt?

Carolyn,
It was out of a Fonds and Porter magazine from earlier in the year (Sept/Oct-ish. I can try to find it when I get home tonight). It's no longer on their website as a free pattern, but it is aavilable to members (apparently) from this link (search the browser for "Venetian Dreams". it's near the bottom). http://www.fonsandporter.com/aspx/Fo...s/default.aspx Kristy |

they evidently dont have the pattern just a size adjustment
if you find the pattern I would appreciate it. Here are some quilts that I have done. Thank You, Carolyn |
Very pretty. :thumbup:
|
Great job :thumbup Love your color selection :D
|
I would also love the pattern. I am making this quilt for my son and his bride for a wedding gift and did not realize I didn't have the pattern, just the print out from Fons and Porter website. I've looked everywhere for this pattern and have already purchased the fabric! ARGH. If anyone knows where I can find this, please let me know. Thank you!

Kristy,
I love your quilt. I made that same pattern, also. It seems like someone else on this list, made it, as well. I think it's a good pattern. My colors are cream, turquiose and chocolate brown. The colors in this picture are not true. For some reason the colors look pale. I gave the quilt away before I realized that I didn't have a good picture. Same Pattern, Different Colors [ATTACH=CONFIG]71101[/ATTACH] |
I love the colors of this one! BEAUTIFUL!!!
Do you have this pattern? If so, would you e-mail it to me at [email protected]. I have tried to purchase a back copy of the magazine, searched on the internet, looked in quilt stores, etc. I cannot find the pattern! I have the perfect material for this pattern for my son's wedding gift, but no pattern. I got the layout from Fons and Porter website, but no instructions. I tried to purchase the magazine off their website, but they did not offer this particular one. FRUSTRATING!!! I would really appreciate it if you would share your pattern. Thank you!!!! |
Nice....:]
|
Great job!!
|
That's awesome love the pattern
|
Beaautiful quilt and quilting
|
Awesome pattern, beautiful quilt! It reminds me of those little cards in the paint aisle with blocks of color (does that make sense??). Very nice. :)
|
I also tried to find the pattern for Venetian Dream but only found the picture along with the measurements. No cutting instructions were provided on the Fons and Porter site. I would like the pattern information also. Please email me at [email protected]. Thank you. I really love the picture you posted and hope to make the same quilt.
|
I was able to order it from Fons & Potter for about $4. I just e-mailed them and I had it within a week. Give them a call!
