Hi everyone! I hope you enjoyed your holiday! I’m just popping in quickly to show you a quilt that I made the top for, a couple of months ago. I tested the Beflowered quilt pattern for Amanda Murphy Design (I *love* all of her patterns!). You can see my original post about this quilt here.
I gave this quilt to my mom for Christmas. I snipped the last threads off of it, oh, about an hour before lunch on Christmas Day. lol!!
I’m not sure if you can see by the photo, but I quilted the triangles, 1/4″ off each seam. I left the appliqued black flower petals alone. I’m sure it would have looked better with some more creative quilting, but I do like how it turned out. And if you check my original post, you’ll see that the quilt did not have straight edges, but more of a large zig-zag edge…I knew I would not have time to finagle the binding on that one, so I trimmed it to be straight before I bound it.
I want to take a minute to thank you for reading my blog this year…I hope you have a happy New Year full of lots of time for sewing! 🙂 I am not sure how much I will be able to post in January, as I’m working on some new (free) bag patterns for you, to be posted here and on Pellon Projects (I am writing 2 of them as we speak, with plans to finish them in the next 4-6 weeks). And a couple of secret projects, but more on those later in the year. 🙂
Oh that is NICE! That really has some pop to it! I love it!
Wow! What a lovely quilt!!! I too was sewing up until the last minute… I always do this despite all my efforts to start earlier every year….there’s always next year! 🙂
Good luck with your new bag patterns! Your others are so fab!
Sometimes simple quilting is the best. I can see it – it looks wonderful 🙂 great job!
Well done on the beflowered, love the solids and black combo. Looking forward to seeing the new projects :o)
I love this quilt so much! And I love Amanda Murphy’s patterns. I really need to get some! Congrats on a beautiful quilt. Happy New Year!

That is a great quilt and the quilting emphasizes without distracting.
Looks good. That is one of her newer patterns that I have on my list to buy. There are two others that are ahead of that one though first for a secret project I need to do. I’m still waiting for the winners of a giveaway that was done way back before Thanksgiving and still hasn’t posted any winners. The winner is supposed to get a nice bundle of Amanda’s patterns. With my luck I’d buy the ones I want and then find out after all this time that I was a winner of the same ones I bought already. LOL
I really do love almost all of Amanda’s quilt patterns.
The quilt is fantastic!
