Two X Four!

Finally you say........... So, Two years ago (OMGosh) I challenged my quilt 2 groupies (Cross Point Ward Quilters) to a summer challenge. I gave them all a piece of this:and they were to make a block - 12" using this piece, a bit of muslin somewhere, and any other fabrics they saw fit, any pattern, just go for cute. They were to make 9 of their one block and then we would exchange and each of us would do with those 9 sampler blocks whatever we wanted. This one was mine just FYI.Well....... FF to '09 and finally this quilt is not only finished, fabulously quilted by my friend Gail Earl from Moses Lake Washington,but now hanging in the quilt shrine spot for all to see that it can be done! It's name?....... Well that's a problem for me.....I usually come up with a name right away, but this time not so much. (I have had some stuff on my mind) Any Ideas? Here is one of the great blocks that shows off the quilting. Yum.I am thinking that someone who might come up with a name for this might just win a little prize. You know a fabric treat of some kind.... hint... so get going now. Name idea deadline is Sat. Eve. 9:00pm on the 20th. I will choose then. I also just wanted to say that this is # 4! If anyone wanted to know. Remember that I am finishing 9 quilts in '09.(see feb. 25, '09 post) This would be #4. And it only took two years! Done, Done, and Done! Sigh...........

B.E.A.UTIFUL!!!

Seriously, it looks so vintage! I love it!

Unfortunately, I don't have a name...blame it on loss of brain function due to pregnancy.

And does Gail know my family? My dad is from that area and my grandparents( George and Royce Hill) and a few cousins live in Moses Lake. Have we had this discussion? :)

Anywho---beautiful quilt. When my kids (weird...) graduate to the beds, this quilt will be on my mind. It's perfect.

I love it! I think you should name it..."Whatever she sees fits".

Awesome. I'm so glad you posted! I love the detailed quilting on the awesome fabric design. Gail is awesome. And you are amazing for having a quilting queen year! I have no experience in naming quilts but I'm sure the name will be beautiful. We miss you.
