A quick shot of the back of a small quilt I made for a dear old friend. ... before ironing .... very blurred, I pushed the button just as the seven year old holding it up decided she was tired of being of help;)
... and after ironing.
If I had had the time for more quilting, I might have kept the white border. These borders are there to ease quilting in a frame. But alas, there was no time - the gift had to be finished before a sewing appointment.
Some favorite fabrics and colors in there...
Almost done - there remained frenzied last minute sewing down of the single binding. There was no time for last show off pic;)
Folded for gifting - it was very well received, and I'm very glad:)
All hand sewn - including binding
All cotton - except for wool batting
Have a beautiful week end

It has the look of an heirloom. That is a lovely gift. Lucky recipient. Thanks for getting my weekend off to a perfect start.
Gorgeous! Beautiful photos, too.
Oh Una, what a precious quilt for a special friend. It turned out so well! Congratulations. I love the diamonds as 'background' for the circle-wow! And the binding brings it all together. Lovely!
Thinking of you my friend! :)
A truly beautiful quilt full of charm with this special antique feel I love very much. I am sure that the person who will receive it will be thrilled.

You make a beautiful work, congratulations!
I love your colors in this quilt. They are so soft. Combined with the hand quilting the project is such a treasure. What a wonderful gift for your friend. You've got me looking at my stash with a new eye. I would love to recreate a quilt of my own with similar colors. I also agree with Jan, your photos are beautiful.
I love it. Not only the fabric choices, design, but also Wool batting and hand quilting!! to me that is a dream.

Hello,
I keep comming back to look at your quilt since I saw it the first time on Repro Quilt Lover.
I went thought your blog but I didn't find any references to a pattern or a seize.
Could you please help me with that because I really would love to do something similar.
Thank you
