Here are some pics of a quilt that I finished yesterday. It'll be a birthday present for my mother-in-law whose birthday is next weekend.

It's made from a layer cake collection called "Mill House Inn" by Fig Tree Quilts for Moda. I just made hourglass blocks out of the layer cake layers since I wanted something simple to showcase the nice fabrics in the collection. I picked some yardage from the same collection for the borders, backing, and binding. The quilt measures 54" x 81", and I did free-motion quilting all over it.

HI Eddie...it is beautiful...I happen to be working on a quilt using that block as well. They go so fast!

Sheila Elaine 01-10-2010 06:08 PM

Eddie, love the backing & border fabric. She's gonna love it. Have you got your speech written for tomorrow's meeting?

daisyboo9 01-10-2010 06:19 PM

Don't you just love moda fabrics, they make even a simple block look so fabulous,....of course being the great quilter you are doesn't hurt either! Great job Eddie, wish I could churn them out as fast as you!

RedGarnet222 01-10-2010 06:21 PM

Wowwee Eddie! You are such a good fm quilter.

The fabrics in the Mill House Inn line are so pretty. Your mother in Law is gonna just love it! What woman wouldn't? Great choice.

nellebelles 01-10-2010 06:24 PM

Eddie--how many quilts did you make in 2009? I'm totally amazed! And you are doing such a great job! How long have you been quilting? My husband started quilting last year, but was ill and hasn't picked it up in awhile. And then I had foot surgery which prevented me from using my machine to sew (I still did some hand piecing...). I'm hoping we can get going again on the long list of quilts we want to do, now that the holidays are behind us and I am walking again.
Anyway, just wanted to say, but took a long time saying it--good job!

Me, too! They are one of my favorite designers. I use their lines of fabric a lot.

Well, I haven't written a word. The program chairperson told me to just wing it and talk off the cuff, so I guess we'll see how that goes. Kind of nervous, though!

I counted them up while ago, and I think it's 25. I started back in May 2009, so that's 8 months ago. I guess that's about 3 a month. And I still have a long list of ones in my head that I want to do. :-D

SassySewer53 01-10-2010 06:31 PM

Love your quilt, Eddie!

Raine 01-10-2010 06:31 PM

The fabric selection is very nice...ditto! Great Job!

cumberlandquiltchick 01-10-2010 07:26 PM

LOVELY quilt. I like the way the back comes around to the front in the border. SMART to use that pattern w/those lovely fabrics. The recipient will be thrilled! GREAT JOB!

littlehud 01-10-2010 09:17 PM

Another beautiful quilt. You always do such a wonderful job.

wvdek 01-10-2010 09:55 PM

Eddie,

Everytime I see a new line from Moda, I wonder what to do with it and say to myself, "well, I'll just wait until Eddie makes something and then I will know what it looks like"! You haven't disappointed me yet.

Just beautiful.
