I finished my first virtual quilting bee quilt, and I am so happy with it. I had my reservations at first, but as usual, once it's all quilted and bound it takes on a new life.
I debated what to bind this quilt with, and ultimately chose this great ruler print from American Jane. I love it up close, but kind of think it looks a little "dirty" from afar. Oh well, this will likely be used by my kids who love to make messes anyway. 
For the back I used some sheeting, and showcased one of the blocks (that was stitched by HAND). It's a lovely block. 
thanks to all those involved in this quilt! i love that it has a piece of each of you. what a fun year we had.
Oh this turned out so lovely! Just joined a virtual quilting bee (for the first time) and hope my quilt will be as beautiful as yours!
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful. I love the blue background!!
ReplyDeleteWow - what a beautiful quilt. I'm part of 3 virtual quilting bees and so excited to have wonderful, handmade quilts by teams of creative minds. Thanks for sharing your final product!
ReplyDeleteIt turned out wonderful! I know what you mean about the ruler print. I have some in my stash and I can't seem to use it because of the shade of yellow. I am sure I will figure out a way someday.
ReplyDeleteI love this...I need to join in one one of these, how fun!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a really nice quilt. Never joined such a group, because I am afraid of deadlines, and that if I have one I immediatly lost in my workplace, and cannot have enough time for fun. But this quilt makes me think that I should change my mind and be brave. :)

ReplyDeleteAnd now you're inspiring my virtual bee selection. I've been thinking geese but wasn't sure about giving the "whatever goose block you want" directive, but I see now that it could work beautifully!
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness, so completely delicious! the baby and the quilt ; ) You are so inspiring to this newbie quilter!
ReplyDeleteI love the patterns on your quilts.
ReplyDeleteI just keep coming back to look at this quilt - must practice sewing stinky, hateful triangles! - so that I can make my own. :)
ReplyDeleteChick I had a nightmare about my block for this quilt a few again. I'm soo sorry that it wasn't up to par. I know I hand stitched it but it should have been better. Again I'm so sorry.
