I'm so excited to finish my Blogger's BOM quilt. It's my first time using all brights for a quilt, and I love it. It just makes you happy when the colors are so vivid.
I did something a little different with the binding this time. I cut off the extra around the back of the quilt, added a little green and used it as my binding. The majority of the back is made with comfy flannel to keep ya warm in the Winter.
I'm giving this quilt to my Aunt Cindy. She's one of my favorite people. For some reason my Aunt Cindy has had roadblock after roadblock in her
life and yet she is still one of the kindest and most loving people I
know. A lot of people would have become bitter or given up, but not my
Aunt. She is seriously one of the strongest and most dedicated single
moms I've ever known.
I lived in her basement apartment right after graduating from BYU while I worked several jobs. It was so much fun living under her family. I moved when I left Utah to start Grad School at Penn State, but I have so many fond memories of my time in American Fork.

Lovely quilt - sounds like it's going to a great recipient too!
ReplyDeleteLove the bright colours and the scrappy binding!
That is surely one of the brightest, happiest quilts I've seen :)

ReplyDeleteThis is really super neat! What an awesome BOM finish, and I love the story of who it is for. :)
ReplyDeleteOh! I just now noticed the big flower you quilted in the center. Love that. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great finish! Your stitching reminds me of a something I saw on Leah day's blog. You have done very well on this project!
