After getting home from the Sewing & Craft Show yesterday, I started a new quilt. This afternoon, I finished it to the flimsy stage.
The quilt is from Debbie Mumm’s website and is called, Building Blocks. Debbie’s pattern was crib size and I wanted something larger so I added blocks and a row of sashing across the top of the quilt and down the side. My quilt measures 52 1/2 ” x 77″ before quilting. If you would like to have a look at the pattern, follow the link here: http://www.debbiemumm.com/Projects/Quilting/2007/03/
Double clicking on the picture should allow you to see the parrots on the border fabric.
sounds like you have a busy month ahead 🙂
I love the picket fence….
Love the opportunity quilt, especially the assymetrical flower border…
Oh what great butterflies. Whoever wins that is very lucky!
I also like the colors on your Building blocks. That looks like a really cool pattern!
Wow, Norma, that butterfly quilt is something else. I’d love to have that hanging on my wall or on one of my beds.
I really like the woven design of the Debbie Mumm quilt. I may have to give it a try. Looks like it would go fast.
Hi Norma, what a great raffle quilt! Love the easy pattern for a quick baby quilt also. Hugs, Finn
Definitely quilt show season! My old quilt guild always had theirs on the first weekend in April and a city south of them, around the same time–good hours drive between but I think some people did go to both should they happen to be, gasp, at the same time.
I love how your building block quilt turned out. I got the fabric on hand to make one for the boys now–maybe cut a couple out for the sew in.
love the bright colors on the quilt.
lots of great shows coming up!
You’ve been busy, Norma! Happy belated birthday to your mom. She looks so young still.
Nifty pattern – love the parrots.
Did you buy lots of stuff?? I did – LOL
