I'm not quite sure why it took me a year to assemble this quilt top. It was such a slow process! I do know that I started this with the idea to make it a quick and easy quilt a la Amy Karol's Lap Quilt in Bend the Rules Sewing. So I cut long strips of fabric. But Tanya Whelans Darla fabrics didn't look so good in long strips and I'm glad I changed my mind and cut the strips into squares! Georgia generously donated her red Darla fabrics to me because I hardly had any. And I added some other fabrics as well. All in all I cut so many squares of all these fabrics (and some others as well that didn't make it) that I could easily assemble another similar quilt top from all the 'leftovers', but that will probably take another year :)
It doesn't matter how long it takes if it looks that good. I once took 2 years to finish one of mine, all hand done literally, but I got there in the end.
ReplyDeleteI would start on that other one as someones bound to ask for one 'just like yours' 'cos it's so nice.
Ducks, Unicorns and Darla?!? Love it! I like the patchwork squares and the colors you've put together. Lovely. Now to quilt it. :)
ReplyDeleteThat seems like the one I am working on today. I cannot even remember when I first started making the patches for it...it was a very, very long time ago. :-/
ReplyDeleteThis is darling - I love the colors!
ReplyDeleteWhat counts is the fact that you finished it after all! And it was worth the work and the wait. It looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteYay :-)
ReplyDeleteGood things takes a long time to grow.
Thank you all for your sweet comments! This is only the top of course. ;) Not quite finished yet but I may wait with the quilting until I get another sewing machine...
