Garden quilt


Hello! Well this was another quilt project I did while I was working on the previous quilt. This is almost done. I have to iron lightly over the quilt to get rid of the creases. I had to put it over a wide stool. My closet is full of my clothes and knick-knacks for now. Very tiny closet anyway. The inset pattern is made with 2" wide strips from Amy Butler's fabric collection. I still have some strips left over for another quilt.  I bought the creamy medium yellow fabric from Emily's Closet; a local store in town. The backing is from the same yellow fabric. I was lucky to be able to buy out a roll so I have plenty for another project too. The quilt looks so cheery, doesn't it? Brightens up the room. I added a thin yellow and white polka dot ribbon along the perimeter of the facing inset border that backs up the end border. I should be done with this hopefully by next week or so.

As usual, hand pieced and hand quilted.
