Whew, I am done with my quilt! Ok, all you curious people, here is the quilt block I was teasing you with. The block is 9-inches finished.
Put together on the diagonal then a splash of color was added. WooHoo! a sofa size quilt!
I worked like a mad woman on this. It is a wedding gift for my daughter's childhood friend. The red border fabric is called "Midnight kisses". Seemed appropriate for a wedding quilt and since the black fabric looks like midnight sky with swirling gray clouds and twinkling stars.Now to get it to the quilters!
Oh, the name of the block?......Ball and chain.....
Such a great block, I love the fabrics you've chosen for this Rumi, it really sparkles. (Thanks for all your help with the secret Christmas swap)
ReplyDeleteYou and Linda are sneaky! Love the ball and chain. Can't wait to see it in person tomorrow.

ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous quilt Rumi - it really sparkles. i am sure the happy couple will be thrilled with it. The block name is very funny for a wedding quilt.
ReplyDeleteOh Rumi I love it. The border fabric sets it of perfectly. Do you do your own quilting or pay someone to do it. Your daughters friend is very lucky what a precious gift.

That is gorgeous Rumi. It's such an unusual block I wondered how it would turn out. I'm sure it will be loved.
ReplyDeleteSo that is what the block looks like. I like it a lot and what a funny name for a block but it works.
