Summer Quilt for my Aunt.

I made a winter quilt for my Aunt last fall and while there asked me if I would be interested in a weaving loom. I pondered that over and decided sure...so I called her to see if the offer was still available. Yup..so my husband and I made plans to pick it up. I decided to make her a Summer quilt to take with us. Here it is. We already bought it up and took home the loom. I have yet to try it, but will soon. I still have so many quilt projects to get done...I need more time for my hobbies ; )

It is very pretty with a fresh look. I like your binding using the same fabrics. Your aunt is a lucky lady to have you as a niece.

Lovely quilt!

Very nice!! I love the floral stitching on the front. Would you be able to share a picture of the binding from the back? I'm working on my first decorative stitching binding right now. I'm curious if I'm doing it ok.

Perfect!!!! :)

A very pretty quilt in your chosen daisy fabrics. I'm sure your Aunt was pleased to receive it.

What pretty colors you chose for this summery quilt! It's beautiful and I bet she loved it!

So sorry...the quilt has already been delivered and its 3 hours away. I will see if I have another one around here to show you. I just delivered 4 quilts. I will see if I did that on my baby quilt.

Very lovely quilt. I like how your binding stitching matches your fabric choices. I'm sure your Aunt was really pleased to get a second quilt from you.

Nice quilt. Your Aunt will enjoy using it.

That quilt is fresh as a daisy! I'm sure your aunt is delighted. I'm curious about what you used for batting. I assume that by summer quilt you mean one that is lighter weight?

Very pretty!

What a sweet pretty quilt! I bet she loves it!

I use warm and natural batting for both but for the winter quilt I used flannel for the backing and for the summer quilt I used white cotton.
