My parents have recently moved from their house in the country and to an apartment in the city. I am so happy for them, the house was huge, they had to drive everywhere and there was a huge garden to look after.
So all in all a good thing. For the new apartment they bought a new couch...and as we all know, a new couch needs a new quilt :)
This is the label...I wrote Merry Christmas 2010" and our names. Miss V wrote her own name and did some drawings. I like how it turned out :)
The fabric is "Morris Workshop", I have had it for a while and am very happy to have used it all in a quilt, as I had planned. The solid is Kona Cotton in Mocha.
Please just look at the quilt, and not the mess :) I like how this turned out, and my parents are so happy with it. They were totally surprised by it! Yay!
Also, I must say that finishing this quilt was quite a challenge, my parents have been staying with us most of December because Miss V has had pneumonia, and I haven't been able to work on it while they have been here!
I pieced the backing using the rest of the prints, some Kona Cotton in Mocha and Moss and a dotty print from my stash.
This was a fun quilt to sew, not a lot of cutting and most of it could be string-pieced.
My only problem now is, that my sister just bought new couches too....
-and she turns 40 in January!
that label is so cute! I'm glad you were able to surprise your parents with the quilt.
ReplyDeleteYour quilting came out great! Lucky parents!! Perhaps a crocheted afghan for your sister's new couch? At least you can work on it on the bus, the train, for a minute before breakfast, etc.
ReplyDeleteI love it! Where did you get the pattern?
