Moms quilt is finally done and delivered
1 Attachment(s)
I posted my first experimental block and had some wonderful help from this board. It took 1 1/2 years but mom loves it. I am not a pastel person so It was a hard quilt as some of you know. There is a lot of mistakes and the sun on the quilt doesn't help the picture. I forgot to get a picture of the completed quilt. The LA quilter was so good to do what I wanted. She used white thread on top and varigated on the white back so it can be reversed and be just as beautiful. I didn't think I would ever want to do another but here I am planning another, as a matter of fact 2 more for 2 grand children. I think that is called addiction!

Would love a close up of the little details in the blocks, are they embroidered?

The blocks don't show up very well so I thought I would post one. I hope I can find one that is smaller.
|
Yes they are embroidered. My daughter has an embroidery machine and she did that for me. We had to go to many places to get the designs. My daughter in law helped me with lay out and color placement. I hope the next picture shows more.

You all are so encouraging. Make me want to do it again. I am thinking of doing a rag quilt that is pretty on both sides. Still thinking and spending my dreams building one.

This is really pretty and delicate. I'm sure your mom will enjoy it for many years to come.

That's one beautiful quilt!

The quilt is absolutely beautiful. Isn't it funny how it's so hard to work on something that isn't our color preferance. I wonder why that is??? Your mom certainly has a treasure to hold onto now!
|
LOVE IT! Just beautiful!

simply exquisite!

I have a pink and white girly, girly room for guests. I would LOVE something along the lines of your Mom's quilt for that room. It is beautiful!! And hugs for the DIL's helping with the embroidery!!

Really beautiful and so special that it was a joint effort with your daughter & DIL!

Your quilt is beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
