ALQS2 Quilt

It's been (and still is!) a very busy swap month. I've received word that another of my creations has reached its destination. Remember the 1974 quilt I shared a few weeks back? It's now in chilly New England with The Vermont Quilter (aka Dorothy).


Made from a charm pack of "1974" by Urban Chiks for Moda. I used Amanda Jean's Hourglass Tutorial and I love how it turned out ... although, as she warned in the tute, I had some issues with bulky seams.


Isn't the backing fabric the best? I purposely tried to center the little bird so that he didn't get lost in a seam!


To label this quilt, I used the design of the fabric to find a little spot to sign with my new Micron pigma pen. I'm still not sure how I feel about using a marker to write on my quilt -- it made me VERY uncomfortable and VERY nervous! -- but I think it was the best solution for this quilt.


Oh, I forgot to mention that this was part of Kate's Another Little Quilt Swap (round 2). I hope you enjoy this little quilt, Dorothy ... it was really hard letting this one go!!

    I can see why that was hard to let go of. LOVE that line of fabric and such a great pattern.

    The quilt is great! I do love that 1974. I'm trying to convince myself that I don't need more. Really, I need NO. MORE. new fabric. I love the backing fabric. I could buy yards and yards of that.

    Love, love, love the fabric!! Especially the backing! And great idea on using the design to make the label! Have to remember that trick! Very nice job.

    Oh I completely understand why it was hard to let this one out of your clutches. It's perfectly sweet, and if it gave you any frustration, it doesn't show (and it was worth it!)

    I really like this quilt. And being from New England this will be greatly appreciated on the already cold mornings and nights.
