This month's Friday Night With Friends seemed like a good excuse to finish up the Aged Elegance quilt I started last month. It took me a couple hours to fussy cut the border and then I got it sewn on with mitered corners. And it's finished!
This quilt flimsy was made from Aged Elegance fabric by Wilmington Prints I purchased in 2009. I'm glad to finally get this stack off my fabric shelves but I will admit I don't like this quilt enough to spring nearly $200 to have it machine quilted. Instead, I'm going to put it in my Hope (I get a longarm) Chest. It will eventually get turned into a quilt, but it will be a while.
Linking up with Brag About Your Beauties, Finished (or Not) Friday, Peacock Party. TGIFF, and Whoop Whoop. I hope you all have a good weekend.
Nice work on the mitred corners.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I keep choosing fabrics that need to be mitered so I've been getting practice.
DeleteThe border is gorgeous. Your mitred corners looks great. Hugs, xx
ReplyDeleteThank you.
Deletethe pansies quilt is fantastic - I think I have seen this pattern by another name and love it.
ReplyDeleteIt's a pretty striking pattern. I'd be surprised if it hasn't been published before.
DeleteI like your color palette much better than the one in the free pattern. So beautiful and the border fabric is gorgeous also!
ReplyDeleteThanks. It was a pretty set of fabrics.
DeleteYour mitered border looks amazing -- the seam is virtually invisible, like the print is just flowing naturally around the corner! Gorgeous finish all around. Thanks for linking up with TGIFF this week!
ReplyDeleteThanks. This is about my 4th project with mitered corners so I'm getting better at them. =)
DeleteI loved visiting your blog and seeing your lovely quilt. Like the others I zoomed in to see your nicely done mitered corners, lol. Also thank you for the links to the free patterns. I've been very enamored by the Jinny Beyer quilts since I first starting quilting in 2010. I have a long arm in the Boise area and also in the Bay area and you can come and quilt your quilt for free if you would like. Or I could do a simple meander or loop for a modest fee if you pay the shipping.
ReplyDeleteThere are bunch of her patterns free at the RJR Fabrics site. I downloaded nearly all of them.
DeleteWhat a great quilt! Love the design so much. And I, too, have many old fabrics. So glad you are finishing it.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I have a fabric hoarding problem. I'm not so good at sewing it up faster than I buy it.
DeleteTHaT looks gorgeous... love the border fabric.
ReplyDeleteGreat that you could join us all at FNwF too...xox

DeleteThe border fabric for your quilt is perfect for it! Well done on the mitre-ing.
ReplyDeleteLooks pretty from here. Whether we end up liking the project or not, it's always good to get to the finish line!
