It looks like it all flows so well together, and your addition of the black sashing to enhance and tie-into the black dashes and backgrounds "makes" the quilt. I know why Craig loves it. You did great work on the hand quilting too. A perfect finish. Personally, I really do LOVE big blocks...part of my later in life love of the much-less-complicated-simplicity of bigger - rather than teeny-tiny pieces! Well done...very well done...feel proud!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10407045587461896172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683357838302003571.post-69500265454197792762014-03-13T11:19:55.202-07:002014-03-13T11:19:55.202-07:00love this quilt. love your hand quilting as well....love this quilt. love your hand quilting as well.

I think it looks great!<br /><br />Big blocks do lend themselves to some fun handquilting. And one good thing about collections....I think it's brought a load of people into the quilting world because before they lacked the confidence to pick fabrics on their own so now as a beginner this makes the process easier and once they start they are hooked and can start picking and choosing from ALL THE FABRICS IN THE WORLD!!

Really ...The black sashing is a wonderful addition! Really great looking quilt especially with the stitching texture--yum... I agree with you about working with pre-cuts and fabrics from the exact same line though. I know it saves people time and it's easy, but wowsers does it take the creative thrill right out of making quilts, at least for me.:)audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18102559813211702736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683357838302003571.post-36492165263786081442014-03-12T10:23:31.022-07:002014-03-12T10:23:31.022-07:00I like your quilt :) I'm a "fall" c...I like your quilt :) I'm a "fall" color person so these colors suit my taste. Perfect?? No, but none of mine are either and I've been quilting about 17 years. I just finished a churn dash and it's far from perfect but no one notices my "mistakes". Each antique quilt has plenty of mistakes but that's what gives them character. I don't hand quilt any more so yours is extra special. I'm sure Craig doesn't care (or notice) that there's imperfections. He's just happy to have it. Don't be so hard on yourself :)Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05012718481371649308noreply@blogger.com
