I fell in love with the Stonehenge collection when I saw it and now I see why. Beautiful quilt!

I've never ordered a kit before, preferring to cut my own pieces and my concern has been that the pattern isn't correct. Was that the case with this kit? Was the pattern such that one would have to make adjustments?
And it's a lovely quilt. Good work and nice quilting.

If you look closely at the quilt top, the pattern had the nine patches at the top and bottom of the quilt trimmed to fit the centre, I didn't like the look of chopped off squares so added the strip to either side to make the centre fit the top and bottom features. I also don't buy a lot of kits and this was the first one that I wasn't 100% happy with. I was lucky that there was enough fabric in the kit that I could make the adjustments.

Brenda I quilted this one myself, I wanted it to be a very personal gift. I quilt on a Pfaff Expressions 3.0 and this is done edge to edge style, but on a sit down machine not on a frame

I have that kit! Purchased mine online from Stitchin' Heaven in TX last Fall but I haven't gotten around to putting it together yet. Yours is absolutely gorgeous! I just finished a quilt and have been undecided on what to next. Thanks for the motivation I think I will tackle that one next!

Karen, Good information re the pattern. I really liked the strip you added and am glad to hear the kit has excess material to use. I've already got the rulers it uses and I still just love the look of this. Thanks so much for your reply!

Stunning! Love the rusts and blues together.

wordpaintervs 10-14-2012 08:09 PM

that is beautiful. Thanks for letting me see it. You have a lucky son. I have no quilts for me. Just a top a daughter must finish and a few for great grands, 1 for my hubbys lap, and none for me. Someday maybe I'll have one for me. So many things to do. Lord the sea is so large and my boat is so small!!!
