I prefer to make modern quilts in bright colours (like Mind the Gap) but I know that she would prefer something feminine.Her favourite colour is pink and I had very little pink in my stash so I had to search for pink that went with my colours.
This is the result
The border of pink roses makes it a very sweet quilt.
The swirling heart pattern is just right for this quilt and the recipient. This is the back - small green dots.
I thought that the back needed a lift so I inserted various test blocks that I made while I was designing the quilt. I was playing around with equilateral triangles and seeing the designs that they made. At one stage these blocks were going to be the quilt but I chose the simpler geometric shape it is.
The binding took forever. I made silly mistakes as I rushed to finish it as my aunt is very ill. Finally, it is finished and it has been posted to my aunt. I do hope she gets to see it, hold it and stay with us till next winter so it can keep her warm.
Break from completing UFO's (yes there are still more) and see if I can create Christmas stockings in a few hours.
