While some projects are quick, like the Project Book Pouch I blogged about last month, some take a decidedly larger chunk of time. A year ago April, I started 12 hand pieced quilt blocks. I joined in on the tail end of Erin's hand pieced quilt along. I rather quickly made my blocks and set them with sashing. I hand quilted a few of the blocks but then put the little quilt aside. Looking back, I think I left it in the WIP pile because I had no idea what I would do with the quilt when it was done. It's little, about 24 x 30, so kind of too small to be useful. It's mainly white, so I can't let my daughter use it as a dolly blanket. Hmmmm.
I finally decided to dig it out and finish the quilting. It just took a couple of afternoons of sitting on the deck in the sun. I still have no idea what I'll do with the quilt, but for now I'm just happy to have finished it. Except for attaching the binding, the entire quilt is pieced by hand. I'm really please with how it turned out and I'm so glad I decided to join in the quilt along.
It's beautiful! I love the pinks and oranges. So even the sashing is hand-pieced?? Super impressed!

ReplyDeleteLOVE, love, love! I only did one block and couldn't keep it up. You're my hero!
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous Katie!
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely! I'm just working on a hand-piecing project and I'm loving the rhythm of it...so much less frantic than working at the machine!
ReplyDeleteThis turned out so lovely! So great you were able to finish it up!
ReplyDeleteLove this, the quilting is perfect!
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely.
ReplyDeleteAs for what to do with it. Sounds like it's a good size to sit on a side table under a vase of flowers :)
It's beautiful!

ReplyDeleteI love all the white, and it sets off the pretty colors so well. All pieced by hand, too! Impressive.
it's beautiful! I can't believe you pieced it all by hand, such patience!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful! I can't believe you hand pieced the whole thing. Did you hand quilt it too? It looks like it. Well done!
ReplyDeleteWOW! Piecing this entire quilt by hand? The hard work definitely paid off. Did you hand quilt it too? It looks like it... well done!
