    Default Harvest Spice top completed

    I am so in love with this quilt. A very kind fellow quilter from this board gifted me this kit when my husband was deployed overseas....i am so very sorry i forgot her name. But she asked me to share when i put it together. I started this monday and couldnt help myself i had to finish it. i am totally in love with it. A few things i learned along the way....i learned that i really do not like doing mitered corners....i already knew that but i did them again bc the pattern called for it. they arent perfect but they will do. I also learned that while i never ever would buy this yellow gold color on my own i am never drawn to it but with this quilt i am completly in love with it. My husband loves it as well.
    So thank you kind hearted fellow quilter for your very kind gift of this kit to make this beautiful quilt...i will cherrish it always. i cant wait to have it quilted and display it on my bead
    Blessings

    Love the colors and design. The way you used the large print fabric in the wreaths is just genius.

    I love this one! I have that same relationship with the yellowy colors. I never pick them but end up loving them in other people's quilts.

    Thanks for sharing.

    It's gorgeous! I have this same kit. The blocks are done and hanging on a skirt hanger. The colors are wonderful, and not something I would think of combining. This makes me want to put it to the top of the list again....

    Your miters are better than you realize.
