Here it is hanging in the guest room. I won the quilt on the bed from Northern Virginia Quilters Unlimited show in 2001. I attended the show with a group of guild buddies and as I walked in I stopped to buy tickets (6) for the quilt. No one else bought tickets. You have to buy tickets to win! I try to support guilds by buying raffle quilt tickets -- especially if I like the quilts. Do you buy raffle quilt tickets?
And the back which shows off the quilting quite well. I can imagine using this side if I'm tired of the orange and navy! (Most photos on the blog can be enlarged.)
It was part of my goals list this past week. I'm very happy with my overall progress from last week.

That's it for me today.
Happy Quilting All! Bonnie
I love the A Tisket a Tasket quilt, a wonderful one to finish up and get up on the wall. The blocks are so cute, my fav is the black cat in the basket with the witch, but love them all.
ReplyDeleteThose baskets are very cute, it would make a very pretty Easter quilt. Love the bold table topper, the quilting is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteOh my! My Tisket quilt blocks are all done but not put together. I'd forgotten all about it. Yours is very sweet. :-)
ReplyDeleteNice finish - I like the border fabric you selected for this one.
ReplyDeleteYes, I usually purchase raffle tickets, but I never expect to win anything. Someday, I suppose, I could be surprised. 😉 I love the quilt that you won, and A Tisket A Tasket looks fantastic next to it.
A Tisket, a Tasket is so adorable. It makes for a beautiful finish. I love the table topper. The orange with the black background is quite stunning. Happy sewing! Andrea
ReplyDeleteHi Bonnie,
ReplyDeleteThat quilt that you won is gorgeous, and the wall hanging goes so nicely with it. I wonder what size your table topper is? I need to make one for my sister. ~sigh~ It's an odd size - 19" square, and so hard to find a pattern I want to make. It needs to be on the modern side of things, and her colors are dark gray, gray, and more gray. HA! ~smile~ Roseanne
Your basket quilt is charming and looks lovely in the room with the color block quilt you won. I like your quilting stitching.
ReplyDeleteI really like your hexagonal table topper. Looks like navy blue on the background? So nice against the bright golds and oranges.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on meeting your weekly goals. That table topper lights up the room :-)
ReplyDeleteNext year, please come to the show again. It will be fun to meet with you.
Your Bunny Hiil quilt is adorable! That was such a fun sew along--brings back happy memories!
