    (finally) Finished Hello Betty

    Oct 13, 2009

    Yay, I’m glad to have this one finished!
     
    I added two borders since I had lots of scraps just the right size, and now its a perfect lap size, I think it ended up being about 63" by 75".   I wasn’t so sure about this one as I was making it, but now that its done I am in love with it.  The back is a solid yellow cotton to match the front.
     
    This last picture is for my hubby….who kindly suggested that this blog would be way more exciting if I took “action” shots of my quilts instead of boring ones.  Good call Jay….it is way more exciting. :)
    And for those of you that want to know, the tutorial for these blocks can be found here.

      It is beautiful. I really like it. I am not very proficient with curved or circular piecing. I will have to try it one day. I do like the double boarder, what a great idea. I makes the quilt POP!

      This quilt has a very "old" look to it . . . which is meant as a compliment! Looks as if it could be found in a quilt museum somewhere with a date of 1880 on it. Lovely.

      Hi Allison, love your quilt - so much good movement and I don't mean with your hubby's excellent idea of the action shot either - how hilarious is he - I'm laughing out loud to your blog and my hubby thinks I'm too loud so he closes the door - he would be the first one to come up with an "excellent" idea - Coodoos to your hubby for being so involved - I'm still giggling;)

      Okay, I don't normally comment but I adore the action shot. It made me laugh and smile at how cute husbands can be, and I love that you included it.

      Since I don't normally comment, I thought I would say I love your sewing too. While I don't quilt, your blog has inspired me to put that on my list of planned projects (right now I am focused on Halloween costumes). You have beautiful work. Thanks for sharing.

      I must say, the "Action Shot" is the very best photo and photo comment I have seen in a long time. I LOVE it! Your man has a great sense of humor. Give him a hug from me.

      And it goes without saying that your quilt is beautiful. They all are. I love watching what you come up with each time you present your newest creation.
