TRUMPET FLOWER QUILT

Finally, I have completed the "Trumpet Flower Quilt".  Mary from Quilt Hollow worked her magic on machine quilting it several months ago.  I didn't have time for the binding at the time and put the quilt in the sewing room closet.  It soon became part of the landscape.  You know how when you see something so often that you cease to really see it?  I had to move a few items in the closet the other day to look for some small batting pieces stored in there.  The quilt was one of the items I picked up to move.  I decided right then and there that the fabrics in the quilt had mellowed long enough and time to do the binding.

I struggled to get the quilt pinned to the design wall in the sewing room.  I had to bend it around the corner a bit as the area is not large enough.  And some items got into the picture that could not be helped.  But at least you can see the majority of the quilt.

Here are two close up pictures of the quilt.

The quilt top was completed in June of 2009 so you can see it has been a while coming to the end of the project.  You can read about the pattern information in a blog post here.  It is a Cherie Ralston design.

At the time I completed the quilt top and showed it on my blog, I received an e-mail asking if the quilt top could be purchased from me.  I declined as I love the piece so well.  And the answer is still the same today.

You don't find a lot of pinks in my stash.  I used up a lot of what I had in the making of this quilt and have not purchased many since then.  I need to work on that part of my stash.

I have another completed quilt that I will share with you in a couple days.  I am off to the sewing room.
