Music quilt for christmas
 

Good Morning, Well it is cold here in Nebraska and I just finished a quilt for a Christmas gift. Hoping that my SIL can fit it into her quilting schedule. My daughter sent me her favorite music quotes and I had sewnsewer2 embroider them for me. I will never use Kona black again. Raveled something terrible. I have just a yard left so will use it up on something mundane! LOL! Hope you enjoy it and constructive critiques welcome. Every quilt is a learning process and this uneven layout was out of my comfort zone for sure. But she is done. :)

creative quilt - great when the ideas come together (without a pattern)!

Good morning Dakotamaid. It is cold here too. Your quilt is absolutely beautiful! I love your piano key border. It is perfect for this quilt! Your DD is a very lucky young woman.

BTW I know what you mean about the Kona cotton fraying. It seems like it is a slightly looser weave than some others. When I had to use it, I decided to cut my strips just slightly off the true grain. It helped a bit.

Awesome quilt! I have a pianist in my family I want to make a quilt for. Need to remember the piano keys for.

Wonderful quilt. Sew creative!

beautiful.....

Cold here also great quilt love all of it. You did a great job.:thumbup:

Awesome quilt. I too love that piano key border. Hmmm, I haven't had trouble with Kona but I am a prewasher so I wonder if the prewashing shrinks it up a bit and tightens that weave? I found the Kona to be less reavely than Moda Bella Solids. I think it has a slightly heavier hand too but I use them both interchangebly.

It's cold here also, too much too soon. Your quilt makes me smile, so creative it's awesome, nice work!

Cold here in Louisiana! 20 degrees here this am. The quilt is beautiful and very ingenious quilting.

Wonderful quilt! Very creative! Fun layout, and great piano keys border.

What a fun quilt! Hopefully we get to see it after the quilting & binding is on too?

Love it! Awesome quilt!

Your quilt is lovely and I am sure that it will be loved, as for the Kona I don't have any problems with it raveling but I also pre wash.

Very nice quilt. You did an awesome job on it.

Awesomely beautiful! And what beautiful work!

Prewashed Kona and used best press. Still raveled. Yes I will post when SIL has done her magic.

Nice quilt. Cold here too, only 8 this morning. The Southtowns of Buffalo got hammered overnight, daughter and son and their spouses, children are snowed in. I am getting high wind and bitter cold, supposed to get the snow late today and tonight. YUCK!!!!

Great Job. I need to make my DD one like that. She plays piano and harp and guitar and she teaches piano, Thanks for sharing.

One lucky daughter. Lovely quilt. BrendaK

OMG Dawne!! This is absolute a work of art! Lucky lucky recipient! I LOVE this!!!!!

Lovely quilt! I'm sure you daughter will love it!

very creative nice

Cold and windy here too! I love your quilt!!!

Great job on the music themed quilt. You were clever in your layout. Cold here, too. Just makes for more good quilting!

A very special original quilt!

Beautiful quilt!

I love it...It is sooo unique.

Mind if I ask what is on the little white squares, are they words to songs? Did you print them out, or are they part of a fabric panel? I love the extra notes and flowers you put on, it adds such a nice 'zing'! Very nice job!

Love this Music Quilt theme, it is so lovely. You have done a wonderful job making it too!!
:D :D :D :D

Oh my, this is absolutely beautiful. What a great collection of musical prints used in this!!!

You did a great job on the quilt. Cold here too,seems almost everywhere same story.

I think winter has struck everywhere. It's so nice to wrap up in those quilts though and stay toasty warm. Your daughter is going to love her quilt and will treasure it forever. Beautiful!! :)

Great quilt!!!

Your quilt is gorgeous. Love the music theme. Great job.

What a great musical quilt you made. Love the piano border. Never had a problem with Kona black before especially with buying the 1st quality that you get at your LQS. I stopped using the stuff at chain stores because the quality is so poor being that is has been sold on the secondary market.

love the quilt
