Great quilt.
20661Chris, This is beautiful! I love it! It is quiet and soothing looking. I am sure it will make the the room feel more serene. You and Amy did a wonderful job on this! I would love to see it again when the binding is complete! Hugs, Linda
24961Nicely done! She will love it! (Hopefully Amy goes.)
38558Such lovely work, and beautifully done. Please show it to us when Amy is finished with it. It sure was a big job!!Hugs and flowers to both of you.*****
215436693lovely soft colors and well set, love your work of you two, pro longarm quilting would be roundabout 150 Euro here too.
20463Chris, great job on the quilt! I know it'll be appreciated. If you get a chance, post a close up of the quilt pattern used please. Would love to see it.

Hi Ramona, it was only 4 little squares of 3 1/4 inches and then one large single square 6 1/2 inches. Once you sew the 4 little squares together it made a square of 6 1/2 inches wide. Then we joined the 4 square one next to a plain one. Love Chris

I'm sure she will Marianne. Apparently Sarah loves this colour combination and Amy should know, she lived with them whilst in England for nearly a year! Love Chris

299557This is lovely Chris. How nice to work on a project with your daughter. My eldest seems to drop stuff off and leaves me to it! There is someone near me who will quilt with a long arm machine but I have not got that far yet

That's what we did with this one. My quilting lady (who I've been using for years) has a longarm quilting machine and it's so quick. I don't quilt! I just patchwork etc. Love Chris

70767Chris, you and Amy have done a great job - I see from your other post - that you are not that found of the colors or fabric selection - it is lovely - a bit muted - but very lovely. Job well done. What will happen - if Amy isn't going?

Yep Shirlene, not my colour choice at all! It will have to be posted and at around 2kg it's going to cost a lot to post to England. Love Chris

It would probably be more expensive it were going from the UK as the post has just gone up quite a bit here
211078I like the colors and it is very pretty. Nice work you two.
48168Is $150 a good price for the quilting there? I've never priced having a quilt top quilted professionally in the UK so this is interesing as fabrics and threads seem to be so much cheaper in the USA. ( I think that's where you are)? Jan

No Jan I'm from Australia!!!!
I felt that this was a good price. It takes a lot of time to set up the quilt on the quilting frame and to do the design etc. This woman does excellent work, I've used her for years. Love Chris

Hello Anabela, well for me it's easy. I've been making patchwork quilts for over 25 years! Amy is only 29 and started sewing at school 11 years ago, so I guess it's in the genes! he he he! Thanks for commenting, love Chris

Thanks Martine, It's not a favourite one of mine, I like them a bit bolder in colour. Love Chris
145196Amazing lot of work went into this king size quilt. Lots of material to have to work with and hold. You both did an excellent job on it.

You ain't half wrong there Anita, just the cutting out alone of hundreds of squares and then putting them together. I did them with an overlocker (serger) as some of the fabric (ticking) frayed so much. Love Chris
89895Another great work of art from you, Chris and Amy. Love it. hugs Marg

Thank your Marg, it was a mammoth task as it is so big, I couldn't even fit it between my walls and the old sewing table. Love Chris

It's not my cup of tea, but Amy says Sarah will love it. It's just a plain block then a 4 square pieced block. The colours are white, cream and blue! Love Chris
