In the house.
I love this quilt even more after being sashed and the top is not yet finished! I struggled to find a place to hang the quilt for photos, I didn’t have anyone around to help and wasn’t able to find a place high enough to hang!
I have yet to add two borders. I wasn’t able to find the Flora print I wanted, as the pattern suggests so chose three prints from Birds and Berries — two for the sashing and one for the backing.
I now have two quilts to add borders to and sash, still waiting for the fabric for both! I can’t believe my Parcheesie quilt is pieced and I still don’t have my Spa backing yet! WTF Canada Post & USPS?! Ah well, I need a break anyway AND I’d like to use Superior Thread’s Kimono silk on both, can’t wait!
Today I’m linking up with The Needle and Thread Network and:
wow lovely work
Thank you Mrs. Pickles!
OMG, you’re teasing me! I’m sitting here at work and all I can think about is going home to sew and knit and anything but work.:(
I was in your shoes two months ago Carmela, thank gawd for employment insurance! I wouldn’t have been able to finish this quilt so quickly working full time!
Oh, this is pretty! The finished quilt will be stunning!
Thanks Kerstin, I hope the borders go as smoothly as the rest of this quilt has, the pattern is amazing!
This is beautiful! I thought the blocks were nice as you showed them in progress, but now — with sashing and border — it’s stunning! Great job.
Thank you so much Andrea! This quilt has been labour intensive but sooo worth it!
Oh wow, Tabatha, it’s gorgeous!
Thank you so much M-R, that’s a tremendous compliment coming from a master quilter such as yourself!
Lovely:) With the light behind it it looks like stained glass.
Thanks Mary Ann, I agree, it does look like stained glass. I took photos later, of the quilt on the other side of the glass partition in ou house, perhaps I’ll post tomorrow (no promisses).
Beautiful quilt – Love it!
Thank you so much Lisa!
I love your quilt so much! a scappy beauty.
Thank you Linda!
Ooh, add another pattern to my list. Such a pretty quilt!
Do it Jennie, this pattern is so rewarding!
Love it! The pattern, the colours – everything. Well done.
Thank you so much Shontelle!
This has turned out so well – the sashing works just right – Wonderful work, Tabatha – inspiring!
Thanks Liz, I just received the backing and border fabric today but I need a break from the machine so I’m going to do a little embroidery today. ;D
Wow, that’s stunning! Can’t wait to see it all finished!
Thank you Alyce, I can’t wait either!
Wow , very pretty quilt and gorgeous colors !
Thank you Sheila, Lauren + Jessi Jung create such beautiful fabric!!
Beautiful! Great colors and such an original block – it’s inspiring to see a more complicated block design in the midst of the simple.
Wow! It’s stunning indoors and out! Beautifiul use of fabrics and colors!
Thank you so much Dee, that’s so kind of you to say!
Indeed it is a lovely quilt!

Just stunning! I am at the moment working at a sampler quilt which each block measures 6 inches and I too was thinking of stitch on the ditch quilting because I don’t want to take a way the focus from the blocks. Great blog by the way and great advice in some of your posts. Thanks
Thank you so much! It’s been on my WIP quilt rack for awhile now, I think I’m going to bind it and call it done. And thanks for checking out my blog!
