What a difference a week makes!!! I got a much
better day for a quilt shoot for this one. This
flimsy has been languishing in my TBQ pile since 2012 when I realized it was too small to back the
Urban Windows quilt I made as a shop sample for
Quilter's Way. It's been a regular on my
finish along lists but still never happened.
When I booked a block of appointments at
Laurena's Longarm this was at the top of my list.
And with the help of a couple extra "busy" days of chauffeuring I had the binding on in no time. If I did it again I'd make the binding in red. I don't feel like the grey does a good job of framing the design.
I did another easy pantograph on this one and then went back and outlined the windows at home on my domestic machine. It's subtle but gives it a hint of movement.
I love the simplicity of this one and how it highlights one of my favorite fabrics. It's a lovely addition to my collection and will get plenty of use:-)

What a beautiful quilt. I just love the colours you've chosen. I've not seen this design before - it suits its name. Enjoy your weekend. Ax
ReplyDeleteI love quilts that focus on one designer -- and this one is no exception. And those big bouquets from Flea Market Fancy are well suited to a design like this one b/c they don't get chopped up into unrecognizable bits! I'm hoarding a few lines of DS myself to be made in quilts for me, me, me ...
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. Love the colors!
ReplyDeleteI actually really like the grey binding :) The quilt looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI just love this! How many times have I stared at a favorite fabric, reluctant to cut it up into small pieces but unable to think of a beautiful way to keep it whole. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis is really beautiful - that yellow FMF print is one of my all-time favorites! Thank you for participating in the 2016 FAL, on behalf of the global FAL hosts :o)
