Today is the day I'm supposed to announce the winner of last weeks
giveaway! So without further ado, the winner chosen by the random generator is
Jacqueline, with her comment '
I seem to make some change to every project I make. Just want to make it "mine" I guess. Thanks for a chance.' I'll be needing a mailing address so the pattern pack can find its new owner!

| My antique {block} wall-hanging |
And here's another completion for my uh... quilt top drawers? I don't think there's time to actually finish,
finish with binding etc. during this month, but it could happen. Maybe. If pigs started flying and my kids decided they liked to do housework
and yard work. Besides, there are other quilts in the lineup before I could possibly justify working on this one!
The antique quilt block that started off this whole quilting adventure has some blue dye issues which makes me reluctant to use it in a full sized to-be-used quilt. But who says it can't find a good home in a smallish look-at-me sort of quilt? I picked up the hand pieced quilt block on our travels to Oklahoma
a couple years ago so it has some sentimental pulls for me. I tried to honor the antique/vintage looking style of the block but also went a little crazy with my folky sort of applique. Just because I could. And I'm thinking it will look great on the only other open wall in my quilt room. Which hopefully isn't going anywhere, so why bother rushing?
No need to rush other than the anticipation of having it hanging so you can see it and enjoy it every day!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winner.
Whoo Hoo I am the lucky winner. I am looking forward to starting a new project. Thanks
ReplyDeleteYou mean your kids don't like homework and yard work? How odd! :) Hee Hee! Your little quilt is lovely.
ReplyDeleteYou can always leave it on the wall while you "contemplate quilting designs" however long that might take,lol!
ReplyDeleteThere's no rule that says a quilt has to be *finished* before it can be hung up. Enjoy it now as much as you want!
ReplyDeleteThough I'm looking forward to shots of it as you quilt it...
You always come up with the most interesting pieces. And, I love reading the back story.
ReplyDeleteA perfect use of an antique block. A bit of antique yet it still says "I'm Audrey's quilt." Love it!
ReplyDeleteFelicidades a la ganadosra.

Love the fact that you used that one antique block and built an "Audrey" quilt around it. Hanging it on your wall while the quilt waits it's turn sounds like a good idea to me.
ReplyDeleteSpot on, I reckon. I love how the little dark red triangles glow amongst all the paler tones, and how that is echoed by the little bits of red in the applique.
ReplyDeleteYour creativity shows on this piece. What a unique use of an antique quilt block. Well done.
