Hi all,

I just finished this hourglass quilt, and I wanted to post some photos! I made this quilt to cover my side of the bed, since I am always freezing in at night. Our duvet cover is dark blue and white, so I found fabrics to coordinate with it.

The quilt measures about 5 feet by 7 feet. I used white bleached muslin and lots of Amy Butler fabrics in her Daisy Chain Line. They were so colorful and a lot of fun to work with! I pieced the back to add interest. For quilting, the hourglasses are quilted in the ditch and the border was free-motion quilted. Enjoy!

I lilke this quilt because it is both traditional and modern at the same time! Love your pieced back, too!

Great quilt. It should keep you warm on your side of the bed. I have that same problem about keeping warm.

I am with MamaBear61, BLUE is not my color, I tend to shy away from if at all possible, BUT...your quilt is terrific. I guess maybe it's the shade of blue. Anyway great job...love it.

charismah 01-20-2010 10:57 AM

LOVE IT! I love AMY BUTler Fabrics! Especially her new LOVE line! Great JOB!

mytwopals 01-20-2010 11:09 AM

Very pretty. :thumbup:

Don't you just love piecing the back? I think it serves many purposes--it uses up some of the leftover fabric, it costs less and adds a lot of interest!
Great Job!!!

momto4 01-20-2010 12:24 PM

Very beautiful. I love the color combination!!! The quilting is nicely done as well. WAY TO GO!! :)

cindyg 01-20-2010 02:06 PM

Your quilt is lovely. Looks calming. I'm not a big Amy Butler fan but I sure like your quilt. Putting it with the white toned it down some - LOL.

Baywatch quilter 01-20-2010 02:11 PM

Beautiful!

Jim's Gem 01-20-2010 04:51 PM

Very pretty!! I'm like you, I need an extra quilt for "my" side of the bed too! The one I am currently using is a little too wide and so pulls both quilts over to my side through the night. I need to make another that is a little narrower!

mysacrifice 01-20-2010 05:54 PM

I love it, too! It's beautiful and I want one just like it. I love AB fabric!

dunster 01-20-2010 06:04 PM

It's beautiful, and I love the back too.
