You might recognize Hers from the other day.
Funny thing is, my 17 year old babysitter and my 17 year old niece both want quilts. Their fabric requests were: pink, blue, yellow, and green old antique/floral prints. The babysitter saw this done and said, "I want a quilt with all these fabrics, too!" (minus one piece she thought was too modern) So, the tastes of a 79 year old woman and two 17 year old girls are the same...

I made a label and had my kids each sign their names. She'll love that part best, I'm sure! It's now boxed up and ready to be sent to her for Mother's Day. I hope she likes it!
I found the backing at JoAnn's. I think it tied all my fabrics together very well.

ReplyDeleteI can't believe B wants the same quilt. It does look so pretty though. And the quilting looks awesome.
ReplyDeleteI'm supposed to be making an Abe Lincoln costume for my daughter right now, but I've been enchanted by your blog! :) I love everything you have made.

I would have never thought that young and old alike would have such similar taste. I guess that traditional/vintage isn't just for old ladies. :)
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt. I love the colors and the prints. I am not a quilter but it looks like it might be simple enough for me. I can sew. Is there a pattern for it?? Thanks,
ReplyDeleteIt's a disappearing nine patch design. If you google it you can find lots of tutorials. And, yes it's easy. Good Luck!
