I finally finished sewing the top for a quilt that I am making as a graduation gift. I'm ready to start quilting it. It is a signature quilt for a sweet girl that I bring home from school every day. I got her a fabric pen so all her friends can sign on the yellow lines. Hopefully she will like it. Thanks for looking.

what a great idea - and I love the bright colors. I'm sure she'll love it and never forget you for making it for her.
|
What lovely bright spring time colors, what a lovely gift, a keeper for generations.
|
That is great. I love the colors and a very clever idea for the signatures!
|
Scrumptious! What a loving gesture.
|
Agree,a great idea! Love the colours!

How very pretty!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, I love this. I've been looking for a pattern to make one for my own DD. Too bad my scraps aren't as vibrant and lively as yours. Are your HST's 2.5" unfinished?
Your quilt is really pretty, she'll love it! |
I like that design!
|
love it, it's so bright and lively
|
Neat idea, and pretty colors!

Your quilt is really pretty, she'll love it! OH!!! I get it now!! I was thinking to myself "why didn't she just sew the sashing on straight instead of mitering each one". I was looking at the colored patten as the "block" and the yellow as sashing. I see the 'block' now!! Clever!! |
Great quilt and a nice idea for her to have her signature quilt!
I know she will love it! |
Beautiful. I love the colors.

That's how I looked at it at first too. It took my brain awhile to figure it out. |
Love the quilt. And what a wonderful idea.
|
Very pretty, great job!
|
What a great gift idea - I am sure she will treasure it.
|
that is a really neat gift! I'm sure she & her friends will have a blast signing it, and she will have fun reflecting on it in years to come! I love the fabrics too!
|
Oh I love it! Perfect for a graduation gift!
|
Love the brights.... , I may have to give this one a try!

This was quite a different pattern than I have ever done. The pattern called for a 5 1/2" square cut in half. I am not sure what that makes the HST's. Then I sewed them together into pairs and put the yellow strip between two pairs. It was a different type of square with the 4 HST's on the outside and the yellow strip in the middle. It was easy though.[/quote]
I cut the 5 1/2" squares in quarters not in half. Sorry if I confused anyone. This was a Fons and Porter pattern I got out of a magazine. |
your fabric is so neat, what a nice gift. she will love it for sure.
|
Very nice
|
What a lovely gift. I really like the pattern. It took me a second look to see the block, too. I love that! Please post a pic when it's done:-)
|
Pretty!! :)
|
Cheerful and special to that girl. Great job
|
What a wonderful bright and cheery quilt!
|
