I asked my great niece, Cassie, if she would like a quilt and she said yes. (My mom is the quilter in the family and has not made her one) She has a bunk bed so I was thinking twin size which I could handle. Her favorite color is purple and she likes lime green. I told her to pick out some FQs for her quilt. When I saw the FQs I said, if Nana (her Great Grandma) was here she would tell you that those colors don't match! She said, I know Auntie Cris but I like them! My niece later suggested that the quilt be made for a full/queen cuz she was growing out of the bunk bed. So with the help of my Mom, here is the top! Pattern is Carousel in the Cozy Modern Quilts book by Kim Schaefer. I may need a La'er cuz I don't know if I can SITD on this one!!!!

You've made a lovely quilt... and I really do like the colors together.. sometimes we have to get outside our boundaries a bit, and this one shows creative spirit on both your parts! Congrats!

I love it! I think the colors go wonderfully together. Rules were made to be broken when designing quilts!

Shelbie 07-06-2011 08:39 AM

Maybe you should team up with your niece. She can design and you can stitch. Great job from both of you!

Nowadays Lime Green is a traditional color, so she's right in line with the times. It's very good of you to fulfill her vision her way.

Purple and lime green go together nicely. She taught you something. She will be so thrilled

watson's mom 07-06-2011 07:23 PM

I have to make a quilt for an older teen who rides my horse for me. She loves lime green and purple. I have the fabrics but could not figure for the life of me what pattern I could use. I may "borrow" your idea if you don't mind.
Your quilt is beautiful, you did a good job on it. Thanks for sharing.

QweenBee 07-06-2011 07:25 PM

What a great and fun quilt!

Rose L 07-06-2011 08:21 PM

I love a girl who knows her own mind. What a great quilt! Isn't it funny how sometimes you start to put something together and you really don't have a strong sense of how it will all turn out in the end, and then, it just does. Love it!

soniboo 07-06-2011 08:29 PM

Wow, the black makes the colors really pop! Gorgeous quilt! :D

Homespun 07-07-2011 10:24 AM

I love it and so would my DGD's. I have made several with purple, pinks and green.

Mariposa 07-07-2011 10:25 AM
