Do you remember these quilts I made in the Baby Pinwheels quilt post in June? I was left with a lot of 2.5" squares of 30s reproductions. What to do, what to do? I loved the look of the white with these fabrics so I combined some solid white and these 2.5" squares and this is the result.
This is another of the donation quilts that I sent to that long arm quilter again with disastrous results. I should have quilted it myself.
Real exciting post title, huh?
I love that quilt!
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable quilt.
ReplyDeleteIt is satisfying to make something from true scraps.
ReplyDeleteI like the simplicity of this quilt, but the colors and fabrics are what make it lovely.
Paula, I guess it's just me but I think this particular quilt took the disastrous quilting rather well. It's a beautiful quilt and the pattern takes that rhythm I think. You know, maybe she needed to be listening to some Jackson Browne instead of the News.
ReplyDeleteLike. Very much.
ReplyDeletePS oushroph. Another word for apostrophe?
I like this quilt a LOT.
ReplyDeleteIt's a beauty and looks so darned loved and worn already!
ReplyDeleteI've just spent too much time going back and forth through your blog post that I am apparently missing! It has been a bit since I've visited and enjoyed you today.

ReplyDeleteYour quilt is adorable! I just love 30's reproduction fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI just love it! Sometimes these simple quilts are the best quilts!
ReplyDeleteI like this quilt. Sorry that you were not pleased with the quilting. It's such a let down when that happens, but honestly, this is still a sweet quilt.
ReplyDeleteIt looks pretty darned good from here . . . . but I must say that I truly appreciate that you put thought and care into donation quilts. So many times I hear of a new long-armer wanting donation quilts to practice on. What the heck? While we might not be creating hand-pieced heirlooms to donate, we should still try to send well made quilts filled with love *stepping off my soapbox now*
ReplyDeleteIt's a cute quilt, I'm sorry the quilter didn't do an adequate job.
ReplyDeleteI think the quilt police has influenced me and made me think that squares were too simple and boring, that I'm too "advanced" for such simple stuff, but the more I look at these types of quilts, the more I disagree. This is a beautiful quilt - things don't have to be complicated to be pretty and artistic. Yours is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI usually avoid repeating geometric quilting, it's so hard to make it look perfect. But I love those squares with the white. ahhh It's a scrappy quilt--the best kind.
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt! The simplicity of it, and you did a great job placing the colors! Bad long arm job?
ReplyDeleteI can't tell, it looks great from here!
