What started out as this collection of fabrics
became this
then this
and this
this
and this
and finally this!
The only extra fabric I needed to buy was the red for the outer sashing.
So pleased with how this has turned out.
This was a BOM from The Quilters Guild and was based on this coverlet
dating from 1840 - 1860 and in their collection. It has been a great project to work on and I have loved the variety of motifs and techniques. I shall definitely be making some more of those butterflies!
Now all I need is some cooler weather so that I can get it layered up and ready to quilt over the winter. It is a big quilt - 80" x 80" and is going to keep my legs nice and warm over the winter months as I work on the hand quilting.
Just beautiful !!!
ReplyDeleteWell done Lin, it is just stunning.
ReplyDeleteFantastic, Lin! Well worth celebrating and there is more joy to be had with the quilting!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that the 4th picture made me doubt it. It lost its appeal in my mind but by the last border, which ties everything together so beautifully, I fell in love again. Stunning, really. Congrats! ;^)
ReplyDeleteOh wow LIn! It is so beautiful! I would have enjoyed this bom as I like doing "add a border" quilts.
ReplyDeleteLin I love Manor house and your own take on it. Red and Purple are favorite colors of mine and the red for this is just perfect. I love the story you took us through in the making of Manor house.
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous! I like seeing the step by step.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is just lovely, I hadnt realise how big it is.... will be a wonderful one to snuggle under hand quilting over winter...
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done.. congrats...

ReplyDeleteThis is lovely. A great size too.
ReplyDeleteYou left a comment on my blog so I popped over to see yours. I have come across a few blogs where they are making the Red Manor design also. I have never been able to figure out if the pattern is available for sale to the general public or just through a guild. You are doing very well with your quilt.
ReplyDeleteLovely seeing how the quilt came together. It looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is an amazing quilt. So complicated. I admire your effort in making this. Now this will definitely be a family heirloom.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt Lin. It's been lovely watching it grow. Hugs, xx
ReplyDeleteI love your quilt, Lin. It is beautiful.
