Well, at last the rainbow quilt is finished. I can claim no credit for the design, which was made up by someone much cleverer than I. But sadly I don't know who this was. The idea just came from a random photo on the internet, which I slavishly copied using fabrics that I (mainly) had. I did have to acquire some of the low volume ones, and Thimbleanna, my quilting guru, very kindly gave me some of these.
It's really very simple compared to some of the wonderful creations one sees on the internet, but I'm not an ambitious quilter. And I only do some fairly basic hand quilting, but I enjoy this. Machine quilting can be lovely, but fiddling around with needle and thread while watching television is more my thing.
I had to go against my principles to include orange (don't like orange) but rainbows do contain orange, so I put some in. Grudgingly. I much prefer blues and greens. It fits a single bed, and annoyingly, when it's put on a bed, the orange is quite prominent - just at the bend of the pillow. Ho hum.
It's for Littlest Granddaughter. If she gets fed up of the rainbow colours she can always turn it over.
It doesn't matter who came up with the design....you did it and it is lovely
ReplyDeleteHow kind. I'm sure one should acknowledge the designer. But the photo didn't say.
DeleteOh I'm so glad you included a photo of the finished quilt. It's beautiful and such a gift I'm sure will be treasured for a lifetime. I can sympathize with low sun and cold weather - it's an absolute tundra here.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt turned out so well! I love the hand quilted look it will be much softer and more cuddly than the machine quilted ones. Well Done.
ReplyDeleteThe quit is beautiful - so much work in it. I'm sure your granddaughter will be delighted with it and boast to all her friends about her clever granny.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is lovely and I am with you on how to quilt - comfortably!
ReplyDeleteI love orange flowers but am not much on the color otherwise. The quilt turned out beautifully! Even when it's cold, getting outside is important and healthy. The Botanics was one of my favorites, except for the Irn Bru. At least, I could say I tried it! :) Next time, it will be coffee.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely! Congratulations on a finished piece - hand quilting is always very special I agree. It looks like the Homespun pattern by Modernly Morgan…
ReplyDeleteWow Pam! The quilt is beautiful — excellent job!!! Yes, machine quilting can be lovely, but it will NEVER be as good as hand quilting imho. I love the butterflies around the edges - Fabulous!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't thank fundsretriever /at/ proton•me, enough. I found them during a late-night Google search when I had nowhere else to turn. They guided me through every step—sending transaction IDs, chat histories, screenshots. Their team uncovered how the platform had pumped my balance before freezing me out. They packaged the evidence with care and got it to people who could actually help. The platform had no choice but to unlock everything. My full investment and the extra returns came back. When that money cleared, the weight of the world lifted off my shoulders.
ReplyDeleteThe platform turned out to be fake. I was tricked by a woman on Tinder who assured me she had something valuable to offer. I got carried away, thinking they were genuine, not realizing I was dealing with dishonest people. After I invested $120,000, they never allowed me to withdraw my funds and kept demanding more money, which seemed completely unreasonable. I filed several complaints with the bureau, and they referred me to an expert I now contact via FUNDSRETRIEVER /at/ PROTON{.}ME. I have to say, I’m truly impressed. They handled my case very well and successfully recovered my money. I highly recommend their services to anyone who has fallen victim to a scam.
