Lily Quilt


Lily quilt
The Lily Quilt.
Sorry the picture is not very good as I didn't have my quilt holder upperer at home when I wanted to take pics, so I had to improvise.

Quilted by Fiona the long arm quilter. I chuckle everytime I say or type that, I imagine Fiona with really really long arms. I'm pretty sure we've already established that I'm not very mature.

I love the pattern she chose.

Scrappy binding.

The back is pieced, using up scraps and some yardage.

Stats.
Pattern Floral Bouquet from Jelly Roll Quilts by Pam and Nicky Lintott.
Size 53" x 84" long and slim!
Fabrics used, mainly Dena Designs, I used a couple of different ranges, including Leanika and Tea Garden, and quite a few of my scraps.

  3. hi Marg

    Love the quilt.... So happy to see it finished for you to enjoy. Thank you for your lovely words on my quilting. I forgot to take a photo of the Lil quilt before it left here, may I use one of yours (now it is bound). I still want to make this quilt myself - it's on the list. What is next to be finished..........

  13. This is such a beautiful quilt!! Dreamy colours! The quilting pattern is perfect.I bet it's your favourite quilt so far and you keep looking at it lovingly. I love the term Long arm quilter. I wonder if there are any long arm quilters out there who really do have extra long arms. Mr Tickle would be a good logo. Now I'm being silly.

  18. How wonderful that you have finished this wonderful quilt! You know I have loved this one for a while now, the final details are perfect - quilting, binding, back! I know it has taken me a while to get here, I am behind on the internet. And I agree with you about pinterest and the internet, by the way- although I suppose it is a bit weird to comment on your future post back here in the earlier one.
