Hello Everyone
Here is a top I completed today while home from work. (well I have to put one more border on it) It is called Earth's Window. This one is going to be my very first attempt at hand quilting! (wish me luck :-) )
Hugs
April

Hope you show your quilting as it progresses! The top is lovely!

Thank you everyone! I love landscape fabrics and I finally was able to put this together. It was a simple pattern and went together nicely (except for one of the cornerstone rows which we fought about 4 times before I got him to work right lol)
I will post pictures as I hand quilt it. I am thinking I am going to use different colors and different things in each window. Perhaps some stars in the night sky, a sun in the day sky....we shall see
Thank you all again for your wonderful compliments
And thanks for the vote of confidence Nikki-I sure need it :-)
Hugs
April

April, you did a great job on this quilt! I love your thought of stars in the night sky, a sun in the day sky, maybe some sea shells at the beach. Great idea and a great quilt!

Great work April. Just take the hand quilting slow & you'll pick up speed with a bit of experience. Good luck & enjoy.

Great job, I love the concept of seeing a whole landscape or seascape in this case

LovingIzabella 02-10-2010 03:22 PM

Thank you all for the kind words and words of encouragement on the hand quilting. I will post pictures as I go as I am sure I will need input since this will be my first!
suncenter I would be more than happy to share the pattern with you if you would like a copy.

Beautiful. Are you going to quilt it by hand or machine?

bstanbro 02-11-2010 11:15 AM

Beautiful. I love this block. It's on my list to do. I saw it at a quilt show with vegetable fabrics. That was very striking too.
