Canadian Women 150 Annicersary Quilt
 
2 Attachment(s)
This red and white quilt is only a year late. It was offered by Next Step Quilt Designs for Canada's 150th anniversary, last year, and each block was to honour a Canadian woman of note. I didn't photograph it outside where I could have spread out this king sized beauty on the lawn because a) the backing is white, and b) there are too many birds around!

Wow! Beautiful! I love it! You have excellent reasons not to take this beauty outside! :)

Beautiful quilt, late, on time, whenever!
If we search the pattern will we find who each square is for? Or did I misinterpret your comment...

My quick glance at the web site says yes. But go in via the name of the quilt.

Beautiful quilt. Well done.

Whaaaaaaaaaaat? You haven't got those birds trained to not poop in your backyard? :)

As always, immaculate piecework and without a doubt the LA work too (sorry, I can't see it).
What a great Canada 150 memory, and the tribute to our Canadian ForeMothers!

Awesome. BrendaK

Wow! What a beauty.

That is such a beautiful red and white quilt.

I particularly like that you did not use a solid red for all of your blocks. The many different reds make this effort so interesting. I just keep looking at all the different colors, patterns and blocks. Well worth the effort to make this beauty. Belated Happy Anniversary, to our Canadian neighbor and quilting star!

The pattern instructions actually dictate light red, medium red, dark red, white etc. so it's only your collection of reds and white that limit this great quilt.

It is very pretty!

SusieQOH 06-21-2018 04:09 AM

That's simply gorgeous! Actually nothing simple at all about it. Happy 150th Canada!!!!

What a treasure!

Boston1954 06-21-2018 05:30 AM

That is striking! It came out great. Thanks so much for showing us.

No wonder it is a year late, it is gorgeous, and huge, and has many tiny blocks, with many tinier pieces. Well done!

feline fanatic 06-21-2018 06:15 AM

So appealing on so many levels. What size are the blocks?

Innov8R 06-21-2018 06:48 AM

Lovely, interesting and meaningful!

Beautiful quilt. I'm sure that was a lot of fun to put together.

Jordan 06-21-2018 08:26 AM

Beautiful quilt. So nicely done. I understand why you didn't take a picture of it outside-those birds seem to target such things as your lovely quilt.

sue.ross.8782 06-21-2018 10:24 AM

Love this.

JanieH 06-21-2018 10:38 AM

Gorgeous quilt and so glad you didn't take it outside!

Others spoke of a website to find out the stories of the blocks. I live in Texas and would love to know more about my neighbors to the north but I don't know the website.

Could someone please post the link for the website? Thank you.

rosiewell 06-21-2018 10:44 AM

what a beautiful quilt, so many blocks looks like a king size, great job

MaryKatherine 06-21-2018 12:38 PM

The designer/web site is found in the statement accompanying the picture. :)

Linny 06-21-2018 03:00 PM

OMG, I love it. Beautiful in every way.
