Charlotte's Under Covers

Charlotte made one of these mystery quilts too, but she changed the borders up a bit. 

 I love the soft blues in this quilt, and how distinct the green chains are.  The stars are a prize for looking closely. 

 I quilted concentric swirls on this top.  I love the motion it adds, and I think it's age appropriate for the recipient of this quilt.

Happy Canada Day

Happy Canada Day!  (a day early, but we're heading out of town....)


I've been saving this quilt to blog about for a few months now (well, saving all the quilts as I see my last post was early May).

Heather W and I  had a good laugh about this little wall hanging, as she didn't put a stitch into it until doing the binding.

 Heather did do a lot of intricate cutting, which I am glad it was her and not me.  And, I think she was glad it was me, and not her, adding all the stitching, so we were both happy.

I stitched on the edges of all the appliques to hold them down, and then added some texture.

Red is one of those very tricky colors--so many times close is good enough, but not with the reds in this quilt top.  I had to buy that red cone of so fine in the front right--the other 5 reds just wouldn't play nice.
