I made this quilt for my daughter. She likes pink and green. It is a single sized quilt laid out on a double bed to show the border. It was pieced on my Frister and Rossman Transverse shuttle - easy with the seam guide in place. The method for this pattern is shown by Bonnie Hunter on her website Quiltville under the heading Sister's Choice.
For the border I did my own thing, separate blocks of strips. Bonnie's instructions for borders involves laying the whole top out on the floor - completely impossible in a small house.
At the corners the strips cross over each other. Feast your eyes on the mismatched seam.
Every quilt should have its imperfections - it's all part of the charm.
It was long arm quilted by Midsomer Quilting, and because I was feeling particularly lazy they did the binding too. They did a perfect job.
It's a beauty, Muv! And I love how you criss crossed the corners...... ;c)

Beautiful delicate colors!
ReplyDeleteHi Muv - your blog has me jumping round the room with excitement. Today I bought a Frister and Rossmann Transverse Shuttle (1907-1914) in a junk shop and was thinking it would probably just look nice; now I am thinking I can actually use it!! If I can make a quilt as beautiful as yours I will be well chuffed.

p.s. living in Bath, Midsomer Quilting is a favourite haunt of mine...although I haven't had anything quilted by them, I just spend too much money there on gorgeous fabrics.
Hello Sue,
ReplyDeleteYou lucky cake! If I had just found a Frister and Rossmann in a junk shop I'd be skipping around the house with delight too. You will have to stick pictures of it on your blog. I have a serious soft spot for German machines.
Yes, it can be quite dangerous walking into MSQ.
Love,
Muv
