cottage quilt

It was probably over 2 years ago now that I was involved in the Cottage Quilting Bee, and I have finally put my quilt together and I think it turned out so great.  
I received soooo many blocks, and it was so fun to figure out where to put them all.  I ended up framing them on the front in white. 
I pieced my back with orange fabrics that I had along with my remaining blocks. 
I quilted it in large loops.  It's not perfect, but I do like the effect.
and an orange stripe binding to finish it off.  I am loving this color of orange.   A big thanks to all those friends who contributed to this quilt.  I love it.

    This is great! I love how all the blocks look together. I just finished putting on sashing on my cottage quilt. Hopefully I'll get the quilting done soon and be able to post it. Thanks for the beautiful pictures!

    This has turned out so fabulous Nettie. Hard to believe we made those blocks back in March 2009 :-) That was my first quilting bee.
