Love the colors and the pattern - as for speed, we all have our own - so just keep enjoying the process!

I love your colors.

Nice cross-hatching! Beautiful

Love the color combination! I agree...Eleanor Burns' idea of "quilt in a day" usually isn't for me, either. lol

Your color choice is wonderful, and I really do like that braid arrangement

I have never been able to do her quilts in a day in a day, but the results are so nice that I can forgive her for it. After all, who would buy a pattern that says "Quilt in a Week or Ten days"? It takes me about 4-5 days because I take my time and clean up after myself. I don't have a magic remnant picker upper in residence at my house. Just me. LOL

Even if it took more than a day - it's beautiful - love your colors.

Love your fabric and patter. Great Job!

Couldn't you do the top in 1 day without interruptions from husband or children? El's Quilts in a day are usually "birthed" and tied, not quilted. I love your quilt!

Possibly so if I had the stamina to just sit and sew all day! 2-3 hours at a time is more usual for me! It's OK, keeps me occupied longer!

I love most of El's patterns, but there is no way I can get any of hers done in a Day. She has people cutting and getting everything ready for her, which is why I think she can do one in a day. Maybe I am just slow. BTW I like your quilt.

It is very pretty and I really like the earth tones!

So true -- I could have a hard time finishing up at a class. Great quilt -- I just this pattern as a raffle quilt at some quilt shop. Good job.

You did a very nice job.

I love braids and yours is beautiful.

bbeyes 06-25-2013 05:19 PM

You did a lovely job. I just finished one too and was wondering how I was going to do the quilting, thanks for some ideas

joyce888 06-25-2013 06:24 PM

Very very pretty, love the color combination.

Mariposa 06-25-2013 06:26 PM

Lovely quilt, and great job!!

busy fingers 06-25-2013 07:01 PM

That is lovely. Great colour combo.

I never seem to be able to anything in a day either - or a week for that matter. I must be a slow worker.
