Quilted Pink – 1997

This quilt is a queen size bed quilt measuring 79″ x 88″.  It is machine pieced and hand quilted.

A friend gave me a piece of fabric, I think it was the turquoise floral, and from there I matched it up with fabrics in my stash and started making nine patches.  I decided to piece them together in a bar design with large pieces of plain fabric in between the bars and in the borders.

              

Because there was so much plain space to be quilted, I couldn’t decide on one design.  So, I decided to quilt a variety of different quilt designs in each area.  Here is some of the quilting.

          

I found these designs in various books that published just quilting patterns.  In one border, I quilted my name and the year I made the quilt.

          

I started this quilt in March 1997 and completed it in December 1997.  I can’t believe I got all that hand quilting done in that amount of time.  This quilt was displayed in the 1998 Mooresville Centerpiece Quilters Guild show.
