Be My Valentine Quilt ...
 
3 Attachment(s)
Happy Valentine's Everyone!!
I hope you are enjoying your day.
If you didn't have someone to spoil you ... I hope you did something for yourself!!!

I never really planned to have a Valentine's quilt. Then one day when I least expected it (at Christmas time!) I stumbled on this fabric .... and a few days later, I went back and bought it! I didn't really get the contrasts right, thus the reasons for the stripes, to help break it all up some.

The stripes were a brilliant idea. It is a lovely quilt. Peggy

It's beautiful. A quilt doesn't have to have a of contrast to be attractive. I do like the stripes though.

Very elegant! I like the colors with the gold.

Never thought I would want a Valentine quilt but yours certainly gives me a new perspective! It is stunning! The fabric and the design are beautiful!

That is a gorgeous and tasteful quilt! Love it.

As much as I love quilts, I rarely see one I'd want for myself, but this is one I'd be thrilled to have on my bed! The almost blended colors are so pleasant and soothing, yet beautiful, and the stripes perfect the design.

Your quilt is so pretty - beautiful job!

DMotyl 02-15-2012 06:00 AM

This is beautiful and I don't think I would us it for Feb. only. It would make a lovely Christmas quilt as well. Of course I love red so maybe I'd use it all year. LOL

It is gorgeous, love it just as it is, love all the colors. You must have taken too long to take the picture - your inspector fell asleep.
