This is beautiful.

Very pretty !!!

Love the pattern and the colors. You both did a great job...I'm envious of the mother-daughter time. My mother doesn't sew, though she'd like to start quilting...she's short on time and lives several hours away. My daughter and I used to go shop hopping at least once a year...we'd stay at a hotel with a pool...that and building her bali collection were her favorite parts (plus eating out, of course). Now she's a young mom and doesn't have time, but maybe in the future we can work something out. PS, I have already started taking my granddaughter (16 mos old) to the quilt shop and let her hang out in my sewing room. I want to plant the seed right from the beginning.:D

Sounds like it was so much fun and a beautiful quilt of memories.
|
Oooohhh Wow. You did an absolutely beautiful job on this quilt. You should be very proud.
|
Awesome job!
|
Oh wow, what a top. It has the look of an old fashioned quilt yet it also looks very up to date and modern. Nice Job you two.

Very beautiful! I have long admired Pam Bono designs but have been chicken to try making one! Are the instructions easy to follow? Templates or straight cutting?

That is a beautiful quilt. You and your DD worked together and did a wonderful job.

What a great way to stay busy at your retreat and get a beautiful top done. I love how your prepared in advance and got it done so quickly. It's a big beautiful quilt. Who gets to keep it?
|
Absolutely gorgeous!! Love the colors....I mean WOW!!

This i just beautiful. As much as I love the old traditional quilts, I think our newer colors and patterns appeal to me much more. Thanks for sharing.

Exceptional job, Mirabelle, for you and your daughter, which makes it a priceless memory for both of you, regardless who displays it on their bed.
Ok posted the reference on PC, so now we know why you have not posted there lately...and I am one of the last to know, I guess, but I am so happy to see another beautiful quilt finished by you. You are so organized and quick on a project....me I am so slow...slow...slow. You are an inspiration to the rest of us. All the words posted here are true, but fall short of describing its true beauty and seeing it in person. Thank you for sharing the latest beauty you and your daughter have made...a delight for the eyes to see. And a real treasure to cherish forever. |

Every year my DD and I attend a weekend retreat with a patchwork group and every year we try and come up with a project that will keep us going all weekend.
The week before we left I spent 3 days cutting the entire quilt and we spent 2 and a half days at retreat piecing the top. Then on Thursday I quilted it at our LQS on her longarm. The pattern is Butterflies are Free by Pam Bono and is King Size 104 inches square From start to finish it took 3 weeks Thank you for looking OMGosh! It's just wonderful! Ya 2 are a great team! (y) |
That had to be a labor intense retreat!!!!! You two did a beautiful job on a lovely pattern. Kudos to you both.
