Every year, I buy thank my daughter's teacher by making her a quilt. Every year I ask her to learn what are the teacher's favorite colors.
This year the answer was Red, white and black......easy peachy. Well easy if I didn't wait until almost the last week of school to start this quilt :)
I used a white on white fabric, some nice beige and a cute farm print. For the punch I used a dark wine red as the border and appliqué Red EPP stars as a extra punch and interest. Where the quilt has simplicity in the piecing, I decided to quilt feathers with a swirl and pebbles filling.
Edit : Missing the binding and it is so cloudy outside I was not able to take a decent picture but I wanted to show the whole quilt. I will try to get a better (finished) picture as soon as the sun is out. (and it is nowhere as crooked at it look on this picture!!!)

It's like an unwritten quilter rule: Start project right before the deadline :) Love the punch of color that beautiful red star adds and those feathers...yummy! I'm sure Miss Jackie will love her quilt.
ReplyDeleteI sure hope she will like it. It is a small sofa quilt. Yes, we must enjoy working under pressure LOL. thank you for stopping by.
DeleteI don’t know why, but life is like that....we do wait too late, too often. It looks like it is well on its way!
ReplyDeleteStill need the binding but I see the light at the end of this tunnel :)
DeleteI do the same-think that I have all kinds of time and then the deadline sneaks up on me. I've tried changing but I guess it's in my nature so I should just go with it. This quilt turned out lovely. I'm sure she will love it and I bet she knows it's coming as teachers talk.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful quilt!! And I usually end up starting them at the last minute too. Of course.
