Last year when we went on furlough, Linz and I took a trip to Joann Fabrics (can you say self-control?) and I had Linz pick out some material for a quilt. I had not yet made one for her, and so that was to be my next project once we returned to Tanzania. I don’t remember exactly when I started cutting pieces out, but I do know that I had the top finished by the time we moved here in January. Now….tada…it is finished! I am very happy with the way it turned out…Linz did great picking out the colors and the pattern, don’t you think?
Hmmmm….I wonder what my next project should be? Last year I also bought some assorted black and white material to make a quilt for me, but I haven’t decided on a pattern yet. I guess I need to look into that. 🙂 I think I’ll let my fingers take a rest for a little bit. I have not caught on to quilting with a thimble, so the tips of some of my fingers are a little sore.
I’ve done some looking and so far I cannot find the magazine from which I found the pattern. We moved since I pieced the top, so it may still be stored in a box. I’m pretty sure I still have it, but just need to locate it. I’ll get back to you if I run across it. Sorry!
I love the quilt! It’s beautiful! Can you share where one (me) might be able to find the pattern to make one in pinks & browns? Also, the amounts of each print needed. Thanks for sharing this! So glad I’ve seen it on pinterest!
tourquoise is a very favorite color of this girl’s. 🙂 beautiful job.
we have a joann’s close to us! don’t get to go in it much though.
i have been working on some crafty projects too here lately. so fun! 🙂
What a beautiful gift!
Just beautiful, Joy! I misunderstood at first and thought that Linz made it. It is just lovely! Rest your fingers friend! Love you and hope you are doing well. xoxo
yay! what a great accomplishment! l-o-v-e the colors. they go SO well together.
I love it. I haven’t done any quilting for a while but when I do, my fingers definately pay the price. I have tried using a thimble but can’t get the stitches as small and even and spend more time taking them out and trying again. You’re inspiring me to spend some time this winter working on a little project of my own.
So beautiful!
Great job, Mom! Looks really good… 🙂
