The criteria was madder, black and white or off-white shirtings, and one pink.
And I do like that touch of pink!
I machine quilted it in triple lines and x's.
The back.
The extra pieces were just enough for this mini. It's 14" x 14".
Quilted in 1" crosshatch over the entire piece.
Together up on my wall :)
And look who made a home in our garage. A little Downy Woodpecker. That hole is nearly perfect!
Make sure you check out my Quilt Show Quilts board on Pinterest. I added lots more photographs from the Warwick show including this one:
A Labor of Love by Francisca Rodriguez. She wrote "This quilt is made from my granddaughter's childhood dresses, each dress is an exact copy of the original. Quilted on my home machine."
Beautifully quilted and two well-deserved ribbons!
Enjoy your week everyone!

Oh I love both your little "madder" quilts. Delicious! That Downy is so sweet. I had one pecking on my sewing room window last week. Wonder if I have bugs in my sills? Thanks for sharing the show quilts too.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt madder is beautiful and i haven't quilted mine yet ...lovely little bird ! What a beautiful surprise in your garage...thank you for the pictures about this stunning quilt. The quilting is awesome !
ReplyDeleteLoved your little madder quilt. The pink strip gives the top some movement and lightens up the whole top. The little downy woodpecker is so cute peeking out. Hope he doesn't get carried away with holes.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job on the SAL quilt, Barbara! And I LOVE that you made a mini with the leftovers. We think on the same wavelength. : )
