When I first started this quilt I didn't like what I had done with it at all. This was in one of my January post as a quilt I just didn't really like. Well now that I've added boarders and framed in my square I think it's just like the name of the fabric line SWELL!:) I am sooooo happy I like it now. I just wish that I new how to make smaller quilts. This will probably end up being a queen size. I think I at least make twin size as my smallest. Not completely true it does just seem like that though. I JUST LOVE BIG, HUGE quilts! I need to learn how to go smaller though.:) As always thanks for stopping by. I LOVE hearing from you.
HI! I found your through Amanda Jean and I must say I'm super impressed ~ are you sure you've only been quilting for a year? HOLY COW!! Welcome to blogging, its lots of fun and I've made lots of wonderful friends that I never would have met otherwise :)
ReplyDeleteI'm taking a short blogging break, but feel free to stop by my blog and poke around a bit.
I LOVE how it looks! Do you plan on doing a quilt a long like Amandajean has done in the past??
ReplyDeletecame over from nettie's blog.
ReplyDeletelove what this is going to turn into. i need to learn to go bigger with my quilts. i've only done the smaller lap ones, since i've been too scared to go bigger.
Love the fabric and the block very cute!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you didn't like this until it was sashed. It's very pretty.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great quilt, it almost looks like a block ... hard to tell the size of it. It's perfect for Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteI love this! I just found your blog from crazy mom quilts and I am so inspired. I started a quilting class last week and was so nervous. Then I read your random things and see that you have only been quilting a year. It inspired me because your stuff is amazing. I hope I am making things like you do within a year.
ReplyDeleteI think we will have opposite problems though. The class I am taking teaches you to make a lap quilt and the others in the book are all that same size so I am nervous I will struggle when I attempt anything larger.
Sorry to babble on and on. Love the blog and I LOVE what you have created!
I really like this block. Isn't it wonderful when things turn out? By the way, I love how you and CrazyMomQuilts finished the whirly giggle quilt, mine is almost ready to be quilted. Thanks for the pics :)
ReplyDeleteI love that block....can't wait to see it finished! The Swell line and Sweet line are both so cute and I have been resisting but I may change my mind since I saw your block.

I love the striped border you put on it. Looks great! I once was making a quilt for my Mom and had cut out so much fabric and just kept sewing and sewing pieces together.....well my goodness I placed the top on my queen sized bed and it hung over on both sides to the floor. I was probably thinking way too much with that quilt, my mind was defintely elsewhere! It was funny to look at it so huge. I ended up starting again and still have that enourmous top in my closet. Have a great night! Blessings, Heather
ReplyDeleteit looks FABULOUS! or should I say SWELL? i love the borders around the blocks. that stripe is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI need your help obviously, because I make all smallish quilts. WE have to hang out and balance eachother!!
