Our quilt guild did a block exchange using a grouping of fabrics from Connecting Threads called "Bed and Breakfast". At first I didn't think I would like the finished quilt as the colors were not the ones I usually like; but, when the quilt was finished I really liked it. There were 9 of us who exchanged blocks and I added 3 more blocks to make it larger in size (and I wanted to use more of the different fabrics in the collection). I figured by adding the piano key border with all the colors it would tie all the blocks together. I think it came out nice and my friend Amy did a great job quilting it.

I love it!!!! The piano border ties everything together!!!!

Very cute. I love the fabrics. The piano boarder really sets it off. Did you quilt it? Nice job. :thumbup:

That is *so* NICE!!! What a great job, and a great collaboration!

My friend is a long arm quilter and she quilted it for me in a feather pattern which really looks nice.

:thumbup: :D :thumbup:

Gorgeous.

I love it~!

Oh my, that is just beautiful!

beautiful, thanks for sharing

I love it! I like this made up much better than just look at the fabrics on their website.

Beautiful!

It is beautiful :thumbup: The thin white/cream inner border you chose is wonderful and stops it, then adding the piano border just makes the whole thing sing!!! Beautiful job! I think the feathers are sweet too on your quilt. Thanks so much for sharing with all of us!

I love this one, very nice

very pretty

I wouldn't have chosen those colors either, but the finished quilt is beautiful. You did a fantastic job.

I love the muted colors. This is right up my alley.

WOW!!! That's so pretty!!! I've often looked at CT's B&B colleciton, but can't seem to decide if I want them. I now think I've made my decision!! I WANT THEM!!! NOW!!! :lol: :lol:

The colors show up a little brighter in the photo than they actually are and I didn't care for them when I first saw them. I had to wait until the quilt was finished and look at them as a "total package", then I was really pleased with how they looked.

I love it, aren't exchanges or swaps fun.

Beautiful quilt, the piano border suits it perfectly.
