Hi thought you might like to see this properly.
I made this from a book called 'Quick Quits to make in a weekend'. It made up really fast - in an afternoon and evening! I embroidered the butterflies using my Bernina embroidery unit. I love the colours, my daughter chose them and we bought the fabric at last years Festival of Quilts, in Birmingham (UK not Alabama!!) |
VERY pretty! I love the colors - great job!
|
In a day? That is amazing - and what gorgeous colours. I have the Quick Colourful Quilts book - I am making one up, and it is taking a bit longer than a day .. .
|
It was the technique - all pieced in strips and then the black and striped sewn together and cut up using the 45 degree angel on the 24 inch ruler - very clever - and VERY quick!
|
Very nice!
|
Very striking! I love the colors too!
|
It's nice. I really like the color choices.
|
I love your quilt. The butterflies are perfect. How wide were your strips? I think I'd like to try a baby quilt with this pattern.
|
The strips were inch and three quarter - before sewing....
|
Talk about instant gratification! Nice color choices.

You can send this beauty to me anytime. You did a great job, the colors are neat. Having your daughter helping is so wonderful.

Gorgeous quilt! Your DD & you did a great job picking out fabric.

nice & bright; really pops!
|
Very pretty - and fast! I don't think I could ever make one in that time frame, and I really admire people who can :)
|
excellent colour choices :-P Beautiful quilt :!:
|
Love the colors and the workmanship is wonderful. Maybe I should take a trip to Ireland so I could finish one in a day as well. Keep up the great work.

Oh my, simply beautiful. Reminds me of the Amish quilts we saw on a motorcycle trip across the USA from Oregon to PA. Did you strip piece it?

Cheers http://cluttergutter.com :thumbup: Yes I strip pieced it - 1 3/4 inch strips in fives and then measured an average width (turned out to 6.5 inch if I remember) then cut a bunch of black WOF strips that wide and sew both edges, right sides together to the coloured pieces then vut up with the 45 degree line on the 24 inch ruler - easy!! |
Wow--it's beautiful! And the addition of the butterflies just "make it"! :thumbup:
|
very pretty
|
Beautiful and your colors are great. Fast and fabulous!
|
I really like the colors. How old is your daughter? She seems to have a good eye for color. I'm going to look for that book, I need to be able to finish my projects faster than I am now. I agree that it would be lovely as a baby quilt. Maybe in pastel flannels.

I LOVE those colors! I'm constantly amazed at the talent here.
|
I love the colors and the black really makes it stand out!
|
I was just going to tackle that in a couple of days. It will take me weeks to do, I can assure you! Interesting pattern. I've only seen the squares going one way before. I like what you've done. It adds some interest.
|
Gosh that is beautiful
|
Stunning quilt. Love the colors. Really works well with the black.
|
I can't believe you did this in a day? It's very pretty!

nice and quick, love colours too - clean and simple are often the best!! :thumbup:
