I created this quilt a few years ago for my sister. It is a 'blue work' machine embroidered quilt. I couldn't believe how quickly each square embroidered out!!
The machine embroidery designs are from Martha Pullen entitled: Antique Bonnet Children.
This was one of the first quilts I ever attempted so it most certainly is not perfect. I tried to cover up my faux pas by adding sunbonnet hats to the borders that I accidentally cut too wide. I Didn't discover that until it was too late! ooopppssss.... :oops:
I look at it now and cringe and know I would have added different fabric for the bonnets for some contrast.. oh well, practice makes perfect as they say. I think my skills have improved some and that's what it's all about! :-D
Despite the boo boos I hope you enjoy it. :-D

The quilt show I was at this weekend (Windsor, Ontario) had quite a few quilts with 'blue work' - I like it much better than 'red work'! Your quilt looks great :)

I don't see a thing wrong with your quilt. The crativity of the sunbonnets in the corners makes it all the more yours. Take pride. It was one of your first.

labug 05-04-2011 12:26 PM

Love it!

Very nice and in my favorite color! Love it.

It's a lovely quilt. I love how you added those border bonnets to cover your mistake. You are the only one who cringes when you look at the quilt. When you look at the quilt just think of how far you have come.

This is really cute! I may have to use your "cover ups" on my own quilt. Great idea!
