The first of every month I swap out the majority of the quilts that are out and about in my home. The beds, a few walls, the banister, the loft, they all get a new look. I have some quilts that get used year round and are always out, Cooper has two. It's a fun day and I look forward to it. But I only piece the tops, I don't quilt them, and without the help and support of some amazing quilters there would be no quilts to play with each month, a fact I never take for granted.
This month I've really been enjoying Memories of a Masterpiece on the guest bed. I was piecing this quilt this time last year, and now here it is all quilted and looking amazing.
It only takes looking at this before picture to really appreciate the the difference quilting makes.

Linda Hrcka at The Quilted Pineapple quilted this top for me. Whenever I send a quilt off to be quilted, regardless of the quilt, I only have two words of advice, "no feathers". Linda thought perhaps I should break my no feathers rule and she was right. The design and size are perfect for this top.

The simplicity of the quilt makes it sing! And I love the red pillowcases for the bed. The whole thing just makes me smile!
ReplyDeleteStunning, Thelma! And the quilting is breathtaking, IMHO. If I were to make this quilt, I would also make the squares 1.5" to fit on my bed.
ReplyDeleteThat is truly a stunner. Great achievement
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! One day, maybe, one day - I can dream!
ReplyDeleteSuch a spectacular quilt! I can't even imagine making that many HSTs!!
ReplyDeleteThe bed and the quilt are fabulous! Great idea about switching the quilts out every month.
ReplyDeleteYour quilts are stunning Thelma. I'm so glad I found your blog. I also love your header quilt. :-)
ReplyDeleteA labor of love when you had to size up all those half square triangles and wow....it was all worth it! Just breath taking to see this done red. A true beauty Thelma !!!
ReplyDeleteHi Thelma. Your quilt is stunning. Of course -- they all are! Can you tell us about your no feathers rule?
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful.
