A quilt in situ

Posted by on
I made this quilt for my sister's friend, Carla.  It has been shipped, has arrived safely and is now installed in Carla's new Paris apartment.  Last night she sent me a photo and I wanted to keep it here for myself really.  There's something very special for me to see a quilt I've made in situ and in use.  Melody Miller's Ruby Star Rising and Kona coral are the main fabrics and it came out at a whopping 100" X 100" - QAYG in sixteen squares of 25" X 25".

    There's nothing nicer than seeing your quilt in use, proves it's loved.
    This was a beauty.

    It looks amazingly at home and is beautiful - I have a quilt which now resides in Paris. The French love `Le Patchwork`, not that my quit has 100% French owners...

    This really made me sit up and pay attention, I want to make a quilt for our king size bed but wasn't sure about QAYG, this looks fabulous.

    This is one super quilt and though you wanted to keep it, it must give you a real spark of pride and joy to see it in use already and truly loved - well done

    mammafairy's comment about it being a clutter free flat made me laugh. She hasn't moved her stuff in yet and you'll be pleased to hear that she is probably the least clutter-free person I know!

    C'est magnifique! so perfect so sophisticated so Parisien!

    I think this comes a very close second in quilt love to your penguin books, which will ever be my favourite quilt ever made. like ever.

    Size really does matter in this quilt! If it were smaller the graphic would just be too much. It is the perfect size. Yay you. what's the address?

    Lovely! A very clever pattern for QAYG that doesn't give itself away as a QAYG. tinakatwal @ gmail . com
