Quite a while back, I won a fantabulous giveaway from Meredith. I won a Glace layer cake and some groovy yardage, again, yummy glace! I looked at it for a good while, petted it, stroked it and fell in love with it. I finally decided it wasn't going anywhere...except my bed. Meet my new Christmas quilt, just for me! I haven't measured it, but it just fits on my queen mattress top, as is.
If you use a layer cake for the disappearing 9 patch, you need to add 12 extra squares for a bigger top. Mine is 2 squares wide and 3 squares down. I had to fold them in half to cut them, lol, big suckers! Then my friends, the Quilter Sisters, recommended I put a "stop" point on before the border. Great idea! Thanks Sisters! I had another top in mind for quite a while. It didn't turn out at all what I had hoped for. Fine, it's really ugly! I'm going to have to think about it before I can post a pic of it....like I said, it's really ugly!!
That's fabulous, no wonder it's staying with you, gorgeous. Now, how ugly is ugly? And who says it's ugly anyway, bet it's not???
ReplyDeleteHope the fluffy white stuffs gone....???

That is not ugly .... I love it !!
ReplyDeleteThanks Joanne, this isn't the ugly quilt. The one I had mentioned is on the latest blog, the one I did today. It has big green strips in it.
ReplyDeleteThank you to Sophie, kind words! Allie and Lizzie: you ladies always make me smile, thank you so much.
