quilt monday

I love this quilt so much. Love it, love it, love it.


I blogged the start of this quilt here. I was lucky when I bought the fabric that I needed to finish off the border. I took the quilt with me; bought the fabric and went straight to work. Added the missing border to discover that I had 'just' enough fabric if I worked some of the selevage into the border. I had to do it since I didn't bring the fabric leftovers from home; I could have joined them together and made the strip fit. Oh well, no one will probably notice.

I love everything about this quilt; the colours, the quilting. 
I couldn't decide what to do in the center of the quilt so I kept it simple and did an hourglass using the block background fabrics. I love how it is simple enough that it disappears into the quilt.


I knew from when I first started cutting out this quilt that I wanted to quilt it using the Baptist Fan pattern.
And checkout the binding; a fabulous chevron print.


Here's a better pic of the binding. 


Love.

The Baptist Fan is perfect.....gives lots of nice texture but doesn't detract from the lovely pattern/piecing. So very pleasant/happy! Hugs....

I love everything about it too. The colours are lovely and calm summery and the quilting is exactly the right pattern for it.
