I had loved every single minute of making this quilt top, from collecting in the scraps to making the blocks, probably because I think Aneela's designs are fab and each and every block was chosen because it was one I loved.
I was so excited seeing it come together, how could it get any better?
Well yesterday a surprise visit from my little brother (I haven't seen him since I stayed with him during the fqr in London) gave me the time to join the last seams and get outside in the sunshine for some photos, with eager helpers of course!
That;s when I got a new perspective. The quilt just looks so different from afar, I can't say how or why, it just does! Something about looking at it through a photo rather than up close on the design wall changes it. I love it even more!

| It seems my helper just can't stop looking at it either (excuse the bed hair!) |

| Sigh, I love it! |
Hmm, not sure this is any better, but it makes me smile, I love that stained glass effect.
Of course now I have decided that the quilt top is utter perfection and far better than I could ever have anticipated I am too scared to quilt it! Guess that job will just have to go onto the final quarters FAL list to make me do it ;-)
Thank you so much to everyone who sent me scraps to go into this quilt top, I am going to treasure it forever, it may actually be my most favourite quilt, ever!
This is superb! All of the blocks are fun and the fussy cut windows make it a real signature quilt. I'm afraid I am no help on how to quilt it - I have finished a quilt today and I'm too scared to even ask my quilter how to quilt it! Wonderful work x

ReplyDeleteWow such a gorgeous quilt top! So happy to see that you got it all done! The stained glass effect is so tempting to make you want to leave the quilt that way...I'm sure that would make for some awesome curtains! =D
ReplyDeleteOh Emily, it really turned out beautifully; good luck keeping it for yourself, I reckon we have seen the little someone who has dibs on hiding her bed-head under it xxx
