My latest quilt


My latest quilt was a pieced background with flowers appliqued on it.   The pieced background was based on a quilt in the Quilters Companion Quilts from Precut Fabrics.  However I did not complete all the quilting as per the instructions and I used a different design from an American Quilter for the applique.  I am quite pleased with the result.

    1. The background was pieced using instructions in Quilters Companion Quilts from Precut Fabrics - it was a quilt as you go quilt. The large flowers were from a pattern in an American magazine. It was a design for a small wallhanging and I simple enlarged and enlarged it until I was happy with the size. I used needleturn applique to add it to the background and then machine quilted around the flowers, leaves and stems. Hope this helps.

  6. I would love to make this quilt for my daughter....can you tell me what the finished size is? I would need it to be a queen size or slightly larger for overhang. Also can you tell me what you used for the back side? I would love to have a pattern for this as I am new to quilting. Any information you can give me would be very helpful>
