I made this for my God-Daughter's wedding present. AND it was my first quilt, I spent many of hours spent ripping out seams and starting over. I wish I had started my quilting experience with something a little more tame. It turned out beautiful and she loves it. My own daughter wants one but not sure I am ready to make another one right now. I have others lined up to be made. Good luck and have fun!!

BArnold, you're like me. I started my Sylvia shortly after I started quilting. It has been a learning curve

Well, I've got the book... and I think this is all the excuse I need to order the fabric,.... oh more fabric yum.

So I am a bit behind , but will catch up once the fabric gets here I think I'll be ready!!

Anael

Oh marilynmalloy, how sad you have to go and buy more fabric
Good luck on the hunt!

I promised the husband I would slow down this year... not looking that way. Poor husband.

Anael

This year is still young

marilynmalloy

Haha. Not likely to slow down to be honest. Mmmm, fabric.

Besides, whenever he complains, I can just remind him of our vacation that we started on Jan 1. (and are back from now).
We got to the hotel, and he complained that I didn't bring any quilts with me for his comfort. Or to work on as he rested under the other end (I have a pile I am handstitching the binding on). haha

[ATTACH=CONFIG]455646[/ATTACH]1st week of Sylvia's Bridal Quilt

I got the book because I won a UFO contest last August. When I started seeing all the blocks i could not resist. Will be using the blue as the backgrounds throughout, it was in my stash. Hopefully I can make the whole thing from stash. Need brights during this blue cold winter.

I am also trying to work on my Dear Baby Jane in Pinks and Browns. I have 20 blocks done on it.

Ordered my fabric last night!!!
Doing it in solids. mainly blues. and a bit of Steel to highlight bits and parts. And white background.

I think it will look quite good.... hopefully it will get here soon so I can catch up. But even a month behind shouldn't be to bad, as long as I am ahead on my other projects in the week it will take for the fabric to arrive...

Anael

giquilt, your blocks are great!
