Another weekend has flown by, and lucky for me I was able to spend lots of time sewing! My favorite pastime.
Finished quilt measures 34 inches x 60 inches
This is a custom quilt based on a quilt I have previously made and available in my Etsy Store. The featuring fabrics are from the Far Far Away fabric range by Heather Ross. These are very cute, totally irresistible, but not necessarily all that easy to work with. Made from a double gauze cotton, they are beautifully soft and drapey, and I love how it has turned out.
The back of the quilt is also pieced and features fabrics by Tina Givens from the Zazu range by Freespirit combined with more Amy Butler fabrics.
The quilting is again in vertical lines, and it continues to surprise me each time how effective the vertical lines are on such simple patterns and fabrics. Adding such a modest and modern touch to complete the quilt. I am starting to feel so much more confident with this quilting style, even when the length of the quilt is 60 inches or more.

Beautiful Quilt. What a lucky girl. Your lines are so straight. I'm really struggling with the straight lines right now. Any secrets? I love the dab of orange.
Thanks for sharing Cynthia
I have a quilt I made from this line on our couch - love how soft it is - yours is beautiful and I'm sure the recipient will love it!
great Quilt, lovely fabric.

Lucky indeed! You really are such a role model for simple = completely effective. I have almost finished a quilt top that I have absolutely hated making (chose colours based on what I *think* the person may like and attempted a too busy design), and it has convinced me to get back to basics and let the fabrics do the talking!
Hi Rita,
I just love your blog! I get excited when I see you have blogged in my reader, and I hope that one day my quilts will look something like yours and that I can commit more time to my quilting like you have. I went to a workshop on the weekend with Kellie from Don't Look Now and you two are my "quilty" heros! (Love Ashley from Film in the Fridge as well), Anyway enough of my babble, I'm sure you get these all the time, but I have nominated you for a Kreativ Blogger Award, you can read about it here: http://edanrose.blogspot.com/2009/11/kreativ-blogger-award.html
Look forward as always to see what you have produced next!

Very, very cute! I love that Princess and the Pea fabric!!!
Oh it's wonderful! It is amazing how such simple piecing can produce such beautiful results...especially in your hands! :)
