Next quilt in the frames

I have wanted to make a quilt for a friend of mine for a long time.  It's finally time.

I took some quilt tops over to her house yesterday and she picked one out.  It's not the one I thought she would choose so I was glad she had the opportunity to make the decision.


This is the one she picked out.  It's a bigger quilt than I was planning on because I want to get two of them done before Christmas.  So I got busy and put it on the frames this morning (my knee will attest to that).  I only have a partial ball of pearl cotton so I need to go to the store before I begin.

I think I can work on it first thing in the morning and then again after dinner to make the progress a little faster.  At least, that is my goal. . .

Hope you're having a lovely Saturday.

I can understand her choosing this one. It really is visually fun.
Wow--you are a very good friend to hand quilt it for her. Only my kids get those from me. :)

This is a lovely quilt; I especially like the background fabric you choose--I find it's difficult to locate those low volume, widely scattered prints. Most of what i see is pretty dense...nice work hugs, Julierose

What a pretty quilt! You have a very lucky friend to get such a work of art... and hand quilted too!

Are you going to hand quilt that? That is a really pretty quilt. People do tend to surprise me with their tastes too. I try to give people choices too, but make sure that the choices I offer are ones that are manageable in the time frame.

Very beautiful! No wonder she chose it!

I, too, can understand why your friend chose this quilt. It really is a wonderful pattern with great colors. I hope you're able to get it quilted quickly so you can get the other one finished by December.

I was trying to find a recipe for gingerbread boys in my grandmother's old Betty Crocker cook book from the late 40's early 50's...
