Welcome! I'm pleased to have finished another hand quilted project. This is a made with a pattern from Thimble Blossoms - one I have made before - called On A Whim.
The rainbow of shades are from the Anna Maria Horner line, True Colors. I had a large piece of fabric from her older Loulouthi line which I used for the borders. The white background pieces are simply a white sheet from Ikea.
The backing is my favourite...VOILE! So soft and cuddly. The pieces are ones I have collected from Anna Maria Horner and from Tula Pink. And, as I have mentioned, the quilt is completely hand quilted. I used a rainbow of threads that I had, DMC perle cottons in size 8 and Aurifil cottons in size 12. It's the squishiest and snuggliest.

ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty this is Cora! The viola will make it so wonderfully smooth and soft! I love that you used a sheet for the white, other fabrics you had and also used what you had for the hand quilting. It must be a very satisfying finish.
