I seen where Park City Girl is hosting an online Quilt Festival. So thought I add my favorite quilt. I made this quilt out of some scrap fabrics to donate to QWL (Quilts with Love) to go to the troops overseas. They are the reason we lay down at night in peace. So thought it would be nice to help our troops rest a little better too. Out of all the quilts I've made I think this is my favorite. I had to think it over for a few days deciding between a few when I remember this one which left the house right after it got the binding. It was made to the cot size they had asked them to be, which was a bit narrower then a twin but the quilt was very heavy and the hand quilting just made it feel so good. I have always been a big fan of RW&B quilts and have made one every year for the past three years since I started quilting. This is my favorite because it has 4 of my most favorite things, Bear paws, flying geese, RW&B and crosshatch quilting. I don't have a very good picture but I'm sure glad I took one. You can see the red and white strip backing. I still have some of this fabric. I remember buying the whole bolt. When I first started quilting I never knew how much to buy, so I'd just buy it all to much sure I had enough. I've made 2 quilts and backed one with it and still have some of that fabric left, LOl.
I agree RW&B quilts are beautiful. This one is amazing :)

Wonderful, which of course can describe all your work. Love the bear paws, and hope to give them a try some day.
ReplyDeleteVery lovely quilt. Love the color combination. I also love your buttercup bag. I am going to check out the pattern.
ReplyDeleteI love the bear paw block and the fabrics are great. I have the bear paw on my list to do one of these days.
ReplyDeleteI love the border, the bear claws alone make a wonderful quilt, but the added fancy border makes it gorgeous!
ReplyDeletered, white and blue--what a charming quilt!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful. I love the bear paws and the border. What a treasure for the recipient!
ReplyDeleteI love the colours in this. So clean and fresh. I'm a sucker for blue, red and white.
ReplyDeleteKnow exactly what you mean about not knowing how much fabric to buy when you start out.
This looks so comfortable. I feel warm and cozy looking at it.
