| The colours were chosen to coordinate with the nursery wallpaper, a large, elegant floral in neutrals. I threw in a little pink to "lift" it a bit. |
Made entirely from my collection of fabric scraps (except for the newly-purchased backing), even the binding is a mix of this and that.

| More than 500 triangles went into this 40" x 40" quilt. |
I chose to quilt it on my domestic sewing machine, using a design called "continuous curves", which doesn't require any marking. It was surprising to me how all the traditional quilt-making techniques still seemed familiar, though it's been some time since I last used them.
The quilt took on a slightly "puckered" appearance after washing. And it still needs a label, hand-stitched into place on the back. Ta-da!

A real classic look -- with a modern feel. Lovely!
Thanks, Margaret! I enjoyed making it, and I love using up some of that fabric I have amassed over the years.
I love the puckered look! It gives a quilt character.
I agree, Miss Iowa! It's just the nature of the medium, isn't it?
