Flower Quilt Complete

Last Thursday, I was able to finish the binding on the flower quilt right before my daughter got out of school. She was able to show off the quilt to her friends and teacher. When we got home I took advantage of the sunny weather by getting a few pictures of her with her new quilt in our backyard.

I adore the pattern and the way it came out. The quilt is tied down rather then quilted down. I like the look of tie downed quilts. Something about the look speaks to me.

The section of blue adds a nice pop of color and some contrast to all that pink and purple.

I'm pretty proud of my first  all hand pieced quilt.

Can you tell she really loves her quilt?

Newbie Tuesdays: The Flower Quilt

Hello Everyone! Today is Newbie Tuesday and you know what that means? It's time to feature the work of a new (or fairly new) quilter.

Today we are taking a look at one of my own quilt tops that I recently finished.

This is Elektra's Flower Quilt. You have seen me discuss this quilt before. Well, now the quilt top is completely finished. This quilt was stitched together by hand. The quilt is made up of 96 squares in a 'plus sign' pattern.

I finished to quilt this past weekend and am excited to now be going into the final stages of making this quilt top into a fully functioning quilt.
