This quilt made it safely to it's destination, so I thought I'd share.
I sent it to Lara of
Thornberry (a really great blog - one of the first I started reading). She sent me some
apple cozies a while back - this was my gift to her. Along with two of yesterday's
dahlias for her lovely little girls.
It's about 24" square.
Quilted with pebbles.
The fabric: The rectangles are from a charm pack 'sip of summer' from Connecting Threads, that I won at a quilt guild meeting. The purple border was the fabric that wrapped up the charm pack. The green is a Kona Cotton from Joann's. The orange polka-dot backing from Hobby Lobby.
This was the first time I tried starching my fabrics before cutting and sewing the quilt together. It was pretty nice. I will probably do this more in the future.
I have all the blocks for a sister quilt waiting in the wings.
Came over from Thornberry, love the little quilt and the dahlias, great ideas. Nice to see all the colours what with all the snow this time of year.

I have never thought of starching my quilt pieces. I might have to give this a try. Thanks for sharing this at Fantastic Friday. I hope to see you again today!
