My goal this week (which tied in beautifully with the sew-in) was to finally get this quilt top finished. I started this quilt about 3 years ago and began collecting “Chocolat” fabric. I collected this line much as I collected “Vienna Nights”. I could not turn away from a piece if I saw it in a shop. I bought some on line. I bought some from another quilter. Last year when they had the great sale at Fabric Mart I found more…so I bought it! The quilt is queen-size and even with making the quilt top, two shams and valances for my bedroom windows, I still have yards of fabric. Today I am going join my S3 group and ask them to help me decide which piece of yardage I should use to make a bed skirt. After the bed skirt I will still have enough for the quilt back, pillow cases and a few throw pillows.
I am determined to have this quilted and on my bed for the fall. Wish me luck!
It's really lovely and the colours just sing together dont they? I'm keeping my fingers crossed for your fall finish .
