I've been hand quilting on my Abundance quilt the last few evenings. This is a 12" doll quilt that I made from a quilt along with Lori over at Humble Quilts. My colors are different from Lori's, but I wanted to use some of my pink and brown fabrics. I'm about half done with the hand quilting. I'm not great at it, but I really enjoy it. This is the binding that I've temporarily cut. I may change my mind about it after I'm finished quilting, but for right now this is what I've chosen. Any suggestions?
This was a fun quilt along made from my stash, and I'm linking up over at Lori's blog.
Thanks for stopping by today!

I'm not sure why, but on Lori's QALs it seems most of us stick to her colors. Maybe it is the attempt to replicate the original, vintage quilt. Whatever the reason, it always makes it fun to see those who were brave enough to venture into their own color scheme. Looks very nice, LuAnn--and so does your quilting!
ReplyDeleteyou have a good eye for colour LuAnn, I love this!
ReplyDeleteGreat colors! It's nice to see Lori's quilt interpreted in a different way.
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely, LuAnn, including the quilting. I love stripes and the binding fabric you've chosen is just right.
ReplyDeleteI like your version. I usually changed the colors too in past quilt alongs. I love the dark star!
ReplyDeletethis is very pretty--I like your binding, did you also try that swirly brown from those hst's? Just a thought to try...Julierose
ReplyDeleteLove your version.
ReplyDeleteThe binding is perfect! I like to hand quilt too, but also not that great at it. Practice, practice, I guess.
ReplyDeleteOops! Forgot to say, I love your red valentine quilts in your header!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors in your quilt. They give it such a warm and comfy vibe.
ReplyDeleteYour Abundance quilt is so pretty! Love the fabrics you chose. This was a fun quilt to make.
ReplyDeleteHola LuAnn , como siempre sera un trabajo esplendido , sobretodo el color de las telas lo hará resaltar . Un abrazo
ReplyDeleteI like that you've used a totally different color palette than the original - very clever!
