Quilting fun for family and friends!

WIP Wednesday - Veracruz Finished!

The Veracruz is finished! My girls tell me it is their favourite quilt! I used the pattern that went with the fabric. Tropical Illusion by Little Miss Shabby. The pattern was fabulous and went together like a dream. I did make the quilt smaller and I think it is now the perfect size. It is quilted with a cross hatch of varying widths. As I anticipate this quilt will get lots of wear and washing I sewed the binding down by machine. It is for my friends mom's eightieth birthday and she wanted something bright and cheerful. This definitely is all that.

This is the picture my three year old Granddaughter took. I think I will get her to take all the photos.

  2. What a wonderful border fabric! It is not always easy to have both a bright and fun quilt, that is also easy to look at - you've done a great job of achieving both those feats!

  6. This is fantastic - I love your bright colours; they really make me think of the Meditarranean, or the Caribbean. A really happy, hot country sort of feel.
