Hello all,This little quilt is from our recent challenge which was called "5 in a bag"
We were given 5 blocks in a paper bag, which had to be used in the front of
the quilt. The blocks given to me are the darker purple & green.
I always procrastinate & end up doing a small project. This was from
Mickey Depree's book garden whimsy, a wonderful book.
I accidently found out whose blocks I had & knew that she had recently lost
her DH, so the quilt was made for her & includes a line from ecclesiastes above the flower.

Jill,
ReplyDeleteI love the fabrics in your applique! Did you use large rick rack with the binding to get the wavy edge? Very nice effect!
Laurel
Very nice "fade-out" effect. Sounds like a fun exchange.
ReplyDeleteLaurel, I did use rick rack to try & pull some of the whimsy to the edge.
ReplyDeleteWord to the wise, i guess rick rack is synthetic because when I went to steam block the quilt some of it curled!
Jill, I too, love all the colours and fabrics you put together. Thanks for sharing,
