I must have turned each one of these squares twenty times. And that's no small feat as I had to lay it out on my LR floor. (My design wall isn't made yet.) :roll:
I enjoyed making these blocks and am thrilled with the end result! This one I kept for my guest BR- got it finished the day before we had company for a week! Good timing. Whew! I still have to make the matching pillowcases. Thought I might get to them on my snow days but didn't. Had too many other fun projects going. Oh well- I see we're expecting more snow next week. Yay! :lol:

That "turned" out gorgeous!

Is that all from one fabric line? Reminds me of some Marcus Brothers fabric I picked up a while back.

Thanks! The off white and the coordinating beige one were just random. The other 3 were coordinating- don't remember the names. All of the various aquas were just fat qtrs. I had that I thought broke it up nicely.

Thank you! I have to admit- I sent it to a LA to be quilted. I thought it turned out very well, too. It's QS and she only charged me $50! And that included a $5 charge for the thread. I did the binding myself. She has been in business for 30+ years, offers about 9 different stitch patterns. I have to tell you she is one very accomodating lady. I called on a Monday morning right before bad weather was to hit us. I asked her (even telling her I wasn't expecting it) if she thought there was any way I could have it by Friday? I know- call me crazy. She said she thought she could get it done for me if I got it to her before bad weather hit. Can you believe this?! She called me Wed. morning and said it was done! Yippee!! She gets all of my business! She did anyway- but now she really does and I send all my friends to her. :)

I love the colors too, great mix and using your stash! Good for you. Thanks for sharing the photos and the quilter info. Have you ever done your own machine quilting?

J.M. 02-04-2011 06:57 AM

Very cool! Your quilting is gorgeous!

Zebra2 02-04-2011 07:14 AM

Love the color combo! I make my daughter lay them out . . . she's meticulous and it drives me crazy! I have 3 of these (my own of course!!) to quilt some day. Have quilted several for customers.

Your quilt is just one more reason why I am loving the brown and blue combination. It sounds like you have found a wonderful person to do your longarm quilting. Keep on quilting!

Turning Twenty is one of my favorites. So easy and fairly quick.
