Lauren's Quilt

I promised you pictures of the other quilt when I finished it. This is Lauren's. I had a hard time getting it away from her to photograph it. She even took it to work with her. I think she likes it:>)
Lauren chose the candy colors amd I love how they all came together to make this  sweet, bright quilt. I finished it just in time for her first apartment!
Although I think it looks darn good on my dining room table! How about it Lauren? Maybe I could make you a different quilt and keep this one? No?

  6. Beautiful! It almost makes me want to learn to quilt! lol My menopausal brain has such a short attention span these days that I know better than to start something I probably won't finish.

  12. I love the quilt, love the colors, love your blog...love all the vintage and quilt goodies. And that table runner you won is amazing. I have so many bits and pieces if vintage table cloths and linens and this was just the incentive I needed to sew something up with them! I'm heading over to her blog now too. Thanks so much. Very inspiring. good way to start the morning.

  24. O.K. I scrolled down and found the trifle - OMGosh! Do you have the recipe???? Would be soooo yummy for Mothers Day! Can I get it from you???
    Also, the red house pillow you made and gave away - HOW did I miss that???? It's just darling! Are you going to make another one and put it in your Etsy shop??
    Your so cleaver Kathy!!!

  31. If I lived closer, I would break into your house and steal it. It's true. I would turn to a life of crime and remain on the lam, but I'd have the quilt so it would be worth it!!

  37. Kathy,
    What a gorgeous quilt. So much work, wow! I can't help feeling that creating a quilt is so similar to what you are doing in school. Just putting all the pieces together to create magic.
