I seem to have trouble posting. After I send, they disappear into cyberspace. Sorry. Anyway, I just finished quilting my yard sale GFG and I'm not sure that I picked the best design, but I just love how it looks. I especially like the leafy border and how the back looks. I didn't care for the yellow fabric, but it grew on me as I quilted. I just love this quilt and the quilter who pieced it -- whoever she is.

lovely quilt

I like it! Okay maybe bright yellow wouldn't be my first choice for background if I was doing it but I like that quilter's independant spirit. Yellow is such a happy colour in my opinion.

Looks really fine! Dragging GFG into the 21st century. :thumbup:

I really like it! Lucky you finding a pretty quilt top at a garage sale!

SharonTheriault 09-25-2011 08:11 AM

The yellow put me off at first, then I realized that it really did make the flowers stand out. Your quilting is great. I, too, love the leaves.

Excellent job.

It is a tribute to the original Quilter. I love the yellow. People years back, were not afraid to use color. Sometimes they had to because that's what they had on hand.

needles3thread 09-25-2011 08:24 AM

I like the quilting design you chose. Usually, I have a hard time
with that.

boohoofish 09-25-2011 08:44 AM

Turned out very nice. I also love the back!

TFquilter 09-25-2011 08:49 AM

Beautiful!

dunster 09-25-2011 08:52 AM

I do like the quilting design, and the fabrics. The back is beautiful too. How wonderful to bring that quilt top to life!

Annie68 09-25-2011 08:57 AM

Very nice!

BJSEWS 09-25-2011 08:59 AM

U did a lovely job, yellow always makes people look at it. But do you have anyidea how old it is?

littlehud 09-25-2011 10:50 AM

What a beautiful finish for your quilt. Great job and I love that leaf border too.

Minnesewta-sam 09-25-2011 11:28 AM

Looks great!

sewingladydi 09-25-2011 12:30 PM

That's a great quilting idea for a GFG. I may just have to steal your idea. You did a great job.

kiffie2413 09-25-2011 12:33 PM

I love it!

montanajan 09-25-2011 01:11 PM

Would love to see a pic of the entire front - the flower fabrics look old - how special. Your quilting is a nice tribute to original person who pieced it.

I like it a lot! What's a yard sale GFG?

Love the backing fabric and the binding. Also nice quilting job. It looks lovely.

jeanneb52 09-26-2011 03:19 AM

Hey whatever floats yer boat! But the quiltig is wonderful. My leaves always start out great and then deteriorate into blobs. Good work

19angel52 09-26-2011 03:46 AM

didi 09-26-2011 03:51 AM

A great job. Isn't it funny sometimes the back is the best view!

Val in IN 09-26-2011 04:32 AM

Just beautiful! Personally, I LOVE yellow but I know it's not everyones' "cup of tea". You did a great job quilting it too.

Lori J 09-26-2011 04:49 AM

I love this quilt. I am working on a Grandmother's flower garden and have a great appreciation for the work put into it. The yellow's pretty. It's a happy color and I really like your leaf border. Great find and great job.

Fabaddict 09-26-2011 04:56 AM
