What a Wonderful World

I'm part of a group of 10 women that get together to sew monthly. The Erie St. Quilters. Last summer we decided to do a challenge based on the song sung by Louis Armstrong "What a Wonderful World"

We shared our finished quilts at our last meeting. 

The rule was that it was supposed to finish 30"x30" with a more modern look.

Mine is this last one pictured. Somehow it ended up too small. It may have shrunk when I washed it?

I'll share details of mine next time.

Mini's Own Quilt - Butterflies and Rainbows

 Back in the spring when I took the girls to Iowa, in the same store that I bought the cute farm animals, Mina also talked me into some beautiful rainbow butterflies.  I agreed to buy the fabric, if she would help make the quilt.  I thought it would be a good summer project.

I don't have any pictures, because I was helping, but Mini did the pedal work and I did the steering for piecing this quilt.
I also did the quilting.  Once it was basted, the quilting went very fast.

 Just one night of football and some rainbow thread.

 The back is a flannel from Joann that matched perfectly.  I pre-wash my flannels in high heat and dry them.  They shrink a lot! I quilted in big meander for a softer quilt.
It measures about 60" x 68"

 The quilt is Rory approved!
