I’ve made quite a few quilts in my day… not as many as some people, but more than others. When I think back on all the quilts that have crossed my quilting frame, this pieced Ocean Waves quilt made in 1985 is my favorite. Perhaps it is all the little pieces that went into it. 2,348 to be exact. Maybe it was the time it took me to piece it by machine. Perhaps it was the color selection. Maybe the hand quilting process (which I adore). Whatever it is, this is my favorite quilt.
What is YOUR favorite quilt (of the quilts that YOU have made)? Let’s gather a list of favorites! Please do one of the following so you can be included.
A) Post a comment with the following information: Your first and last name, state or country, name of your favorite quilt and why it’s your favorite, and a link to where a photo of it can be located on the Internet.
B) Send me an email with: Your first and last name, state or country, name of your favorite quilt and why it’s your favorite, and an attached photo of your favorite quilt.
Please make sure your information reaches me by April 30, 2008. I will then post a special “My Favorite Quilt” blog (or 2,3,4, etc.) and share this information.
Hope to hear from you soon!
Hi Caron, I’m Michele Foster from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. My favourite quilt that I’ve made so far is my Purple Magic Tiles that I made for my folks for Christmas last year. http://quiltinggallery.com/2008/01/30/my-purple-magic-tiles/I just love the colours… it was very difficult to part with that quilt, as Purple is my favourite, but my folks love it, so that makes me thrilled to know it has a good home. I’m actually bringing it back with me from Toronto next week, so I can add some meandering stitching, as I don’t think I did enough quilting and don’t want it to ball up after several washes. If I get to pick a second favourite quilt, it would be this one, Stitch and Flip, http://quiltinggallery.com/2007/12/13/stitch-and-flip/, that I made several years ago. It still makes me happy to see hanging in my living room, as it contains many fabrics that went into other quilts, or projects that I’ve made.This is a great idea, I’m going to post about it on my blog.Michele
