This is for my best friend as a birthday/Christmas present. I actually mucked up the pattern a little, but I decided it wasnt worth tearing out all the stitches once I discovered the problem.

This was the first quilt I took to a LAQ and I was very pleased with her work. She did exactly what I wanted in the time frame she quoted me. My only issue is that the quilt smells like her/her house - a little overy perfumed. But, a good washing will take care of that.

Anyway, enjoy!

Very nice.... What is the name of your pattern? Quillting looks neat - can't tell, is there a theme to the quilting?

Your quilt is beautiful. I love the colors and the pattern. I am sure she will be very pleased to receive your quilt. I know that I sure would.

The pattern is called Venetian Dreams from a Fons & Porter magazine earlier in the year.

The quilting is kind of hard to see but it's a large paisley pattern, similar to what's on the lighter orange fabric (although it's hard to tell).

Good job. I really like your colour choices :thumbup:

Oooo I love the fabrics and this pattern!!! You did a beautiful job on it :D:D:D

Hey this is really cool! great job!

I sure the quilt will be well loved! It's very pretty!

Very nice!

Very pretty quilt-and the quilting really does it justice.

I love your quilt, it looks fabulous!

That's just beautiful!!

Very pretty. Great colors. :thumbup:

It's beautiful. I like the fabrics and the pattern.

Ohhhhhh the colors are wonderful! And only you will "know" that you "mucked up" the pattern. Your best friend will be just thrilled! Great job!

I think you did an awesome job on it. She's gonna LOVE it for sure.

Beautiful quilt!!!

I love it.

Do you have the pattern for this quilt?

Carolyn,

It was out of a Fonds and Porter magazine from earlier in the year (Sept/Oct-ish. I can try to find it when I get home tonight).

It's no longer on their website as a free pattern, but it is aavilable to members (apparently) from this link (search the browser for "Venetian Dreams". it's near the bottom).

they evidently dont have the pattern just a size adjustment
if you find the pattern I would appreciate it. Here are some quilts that I have done.

Thank You, Carolyn

Very pretty. :thumbup:

Great job :thumbup Love your color selection :D

I would also love the pattern. I am making this quilt for my son and his bride for a wedding gift and did not realize I didn't have the pattern, just the print out from Fons and Porter website. I've looked everywhere for this pattern and have already purchased the fabric! ARGH. If anyone knows where I can find this, please let me know. Thank you!

Kristy,

I love your quilt. I made that same pattern, also. It seems like someone else on this list, made it, as well. I think it's a good pattern. My colors are cream, turquiose and chocolate brown. The colors in this picture are not true. For some reason the colors look pale. I gave the quilt away before I realized that I didn't have a good picture.

I love the colors of this one! BEAUTIFUL!!!

Do you have this pattern? If so, would you e-mail it to me at [email protected]. I have tried to purchase a back copy of the magazine, searched on the internet, looked in quilt stores, etc. I cannot find the pattern! I have the perfect material for this pattern for my son's wedding gift, but no pattern. I got the layout from Fons and Porter website, but no instructions. I tried to purchase the magazine off their website, but they did not offer this particular one. FRUSTRATING!!! I would really appreciate it if you would share your pattern.

Thank you!!!!

Nice....:]

Great job!!

That's awesome love the pattern

Beaautiful quilt and quilting

Awesome pattern, beautiful quilt! It reminds me of those little cards in the paint aisle with blocks of color (does that make sense??). Very nice. :)

I also tried to find the pattern for Venetian Dream but only found the picture along with the measurements. No cutting instructions were provided on the Fons and Porter site. I would like the pattern information also. Please email me at [email protected]. Thank you. I really love the picture you posted and hope to make the same quilt.

I was able to order it from Fons & Potter for about $4. I just e-mailed them and I had it within a week. Give them a call!
