It's A Finish and Early Toile

The Cross Variation quilt that I started in July is done!


It went together quickly and I'm really pleased with the way it turned out. It's 35" x 46".


Barbie quilted it for me in a leafy/floral design. It was just the right scale for this size quilt.


The dark blue print is from Barbara B's Alice's Scrapbag collection :)


I nearly forgot I had that wonderful stripe. It was perfect for the binding.


These are the fabrics I put on the back. I try and buy Mary Koval's fabrics when they are on sale at Hancock's online and the one on the top is Larisa c. 1870 by Windham Fabrics.

Wanna see a gorgeous toile??


I finally got to see the quilt top that's been displayed folded on a chair in The Force Homestead which our local historical society maintains.


Check out this pink. 


 Love this dwelling.


Clouds and trees. 

 
And the edge triangle fabric :) Made my day!

Enjoy your week!

  3. Your cross quilt is wonderful, Barbara. I can't remember clearly, but were you replicating a vintage quilt? I really like the blocks where things are turned differently from the rest of the blocks--or the one with no center cornerstone. Great little quirky blocks.
    That is a gorgeous toile!

  5. Gorgeous toile! Does it have a history attached to the building like the toile in Lori's latest mini (Humble Quilts blog)?
