12 years later

and Paula's quilt is finished. She started this quilt, yes, 12 years ago. At the time, she wanted to hand quilt it. In the four blank corner squares, she had drawn in a quilting pattern. Sadly, the pencil has stained the fabric and Paula decided she just wanted it finished!

Quilted with an older pattern called Blossom

third time's a charm

I've quilted two other quilts like this one and I have to admit, this one is my favorite.

My customer made this for her grand-daughters 7th birthday. Why is this one my favorite? It's the quilting pattern, Daisies Galore. It completely changed the look of the quilt; softened it right up. LOVED. IT

quilt monday

I may have shown this quilt before but the one I wanted to post today wasn't finished lol.

I love pinwheel quilts and this one is one of my favorites; the soft colors-perfect
