The brown in this quilt reminds me of chocolate…
Chocolate
Not Vanilla not Yellow ~ sorry Riley, he would just love to lay on this quilt. No way Mister!
I made 20 blocks and used 3’’ borders with small pinwheels between the blocks. My quilt measures 62’’x72’’ after washing and drying.
I pieced the back and quilted my sampler with a crosshatch design, I’m very happy with the way it finished.
Thanks Rachel of P.S. i Quilt (love her blog name) for taking the time to instruct us on how to stitch up this wonderful sampler. I told myself I wasn’t signing up for any quilt-a-longs this year, I couldn’t resist!
Finished just in time for Amy’s Quilt Festival ~ Yay!
Can’t wait to see all the quilts.
Lots of gardening going on here too, in between stitching time.

Wow, yours turned out awesome!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is incredible! I love everything about it. Can I ask how you got the lines so straight? I just tried straight line quilting for the first time, and my lines? Not so straight!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I love your grumpy dog! We have an 11-year-old yellow lab. :)
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful - I love both the front and back!
ReplyDeleteOh I love all things Half Square Triangle and this quilt is no exception!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! We would love to feature one of your quilts on our site. Come visit us at quiltstory.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI must say I was tempted to sign up for this sampler . . . but didn't. So glad you did, though. Love your colour choices. Great job.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. Regards, Sue
WOW I love this quilt...off to see If I can find the instructions!! I love pinwheels and triangles!
ReplyDeleteWhat great photos you have--beautiful dogs, and garden--and the quilt! I haven't made any HSTs yet but I really like the way yours turned out, with that great pieced backing too. Such lovely straight quilting lines! :-)
ReplyDeleteLovely quilt and your gardens are very nice too!
ReplyDeleteI love the pieced back... not too many people are willing to try their hand at that, and yours is lovely. You pretty much have two quilts in one. Pretty combination.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely quilt. It makes me think of chocolate, too!
ReplyDeleteWow, it looks wonderful, and so does your garden!
ReplyDeleteThe quilt and your yard are both beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOk Shawn this quilt looks amazing! Love how you added the pinwheel cornerstones. It really adds to it. The backing is just as pretty too!
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is so yummy, and I love all the details you've added, like embroidering your name and the pieced back. I just recognized you from Flickr since I have quite a few of your quilts in my favorites!
ReplyDeleteSo lovely that quilt turned out. And I love your other pictures :)
ReplyDeleteLove your pinwheel quilt. Love the grumpy dog also.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Your fabric choices are fantastic! Love the back too. :-)
ReplyDeleteCan I come over and quilt with you? Oh, what a delightful quilt, helpers and your garden. I am swooning over your photography...
ReplyDeletePlease, forgive while I sit in that chair...

Beautiful! I love how the blocks just seem to float on the quilt. Very nice effect.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love the fabrics you chose for the pinwheels!
ReplyDeleteI love double sided quilts. Yours is very pretty.
ReplyDeleteThis turned out beautifully! I'm kinda sorry I didn't join that quilt along now!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is beautiful! I love the colors.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great quilt- I love how you made the beautiful back to compliment the front. I like to have the back coordinated with the front. The pinwheels are really pretty too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing... Enjoy the many quilts in the festival.

Very pretty quilt!
ReplyDeleteOh it's just gorgeous!!! I'm terrified of pinwheels but yours are just spectacular. I love the back (if you can call it that). For all intents and purposes it looks reversible!! :D I used the moda blush line for my quilt too. It's amazing how different the fabric can look! Your photography and yard and pretty sweet too! :D I want to sit on your porch :D
ReplyDeleteThat is VERY pretty!! Good job! I love the small pinwheels!
ReplyDeleteGreat job. I really love the Blush line of fabric and your pinwheel sampler turned out really well.

ReplyDeleteNow I'm inspired to go make a sampler quilt! It is gorgeous (as are the dogs). I love the back too, it makes the quilt extra special.
ReplyDeleteI just love your quilt and your dogs! I wish I had joined in the quilt a long. Now seeing this makes me think that I'll just start now!
ReplyDeleteMy dog is also my quilting assistant and she usually finds her way into most of my shots. Dogs are such hams!
Fabulous quilt, I love both sides - and I love your garden too!
ReplyDeleteI had to resist signing up for that sampler - I love yours! Blush is such a pretty group, and that brown is totally chocolaty! Thanks for sharing :)

Beautiful quilt! I haven't "finished" a quilt in years - but looking and yours is giving me the itch again!
ReplyDeleteYou did a really beautiful job! My pinwheel sampler is just a stack of blocks right now, but I think you might have inspired me to get back to it!
ReplyDeleteI really love this with 20 blocks and the mini pinwheels just make it perfect. Not to mention that I LOVE your pieced back and I love how you've quilted it. I don't do free-motion quilting, so I've been looking for inspiration. Yours came out so great!
Mmm. Mint chocolate and chocolate cherry. Delicious. And beautifully photographed.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love your dogs, too!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! Love the colors (and the dogs)
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I love blush and that quilt along was so much fun huh!?!

ReplyDeleteYour dogs are great too. Mine love to eye up a new quilt too-they are so bad! *wink)*
Gorgeous Quilt, I love the back too.
ReplyDeleteYour yarden (no, that's not a typo -- it's a word for the beautiful space you've created) is amazing! I love your pinwheel sampler! I did this quilt-along too (after swearing no new projects until I finish a few) because it was so irresistible. I'm not finished yet. But I absolutely LOVE what you did with yours. Amazing job! Thanks for a most delightful stop on my Blogger's Quilt Festival Tour.

ReplyDeleteKaren :)
Such a pretty quilt. The blue and brown together are lovely. Great photos.
ReplyDeleteLovely, lovely quilt!
ReplyDeleteAnd I really like the way you "label" your quilts. Do you just stitch the words on to the quilt after it's quilted?
Thank you for your nice visit, too
; )
beautiful work! love it. it kind makes me wish I wouldve done that pinwheel quilt along too.
ReplyDeleteJust Beautiful! May I ask what fabrics you used? I especially like the brown!
