A new quilt for Me, Me, Me!

A long, long time ago.....

I got a bundle of lovely fabric in the mail.

Echo by Lotta Jansdotter..

You may remember that I couldn't wait to get stuck into this fabric and cut it up straight away into HST's  I threw in a few Kona solids with it and this is what came about.

It got to this stage just before Christmas and then with the crazy season and a holiday, it just got put away and although I was eager to finish it, I was a little hesitant on how to finish the quilt off.

So some umming and ahhing, this is what came about.

Straight stitching used about 1/2 an inch apart. 

I think there were 13 rows for each block and 8 blocks across....you do the maths?

There were many, many rows and many, many bobbins and many, many hours and even some un- stitching from time to time.

 

The back shows off the quilting much more and sometimes I just can't decide which side I like the best.

(I couldn't see these HST's going to waste so I had to find a place for them in the quilt.)

Even looks great folded up!

As you can see I'm very happy with my quilt and have had some chill out time cuddling up under it.

Fabric Line: Echo  By Lotta Jansdotter.

A bit of Kona White, Sage, Coffee and Ash to splash it up!
I did want to put some Kona Yarrow in but couldn't find anyone that stocked it.

 

Great line of fabric and wish I did buy some more now...ah well, I still have some scraps to make another quilt from.
But until then, this will be staying with me.

Rhonda .  I'm finished all my Finish a Long!
