Topsy Turvy

Made from Amanda Jean’s Pattern at the Moda Bake Shop

I think I started this back in March… at least it was March 2011, lol

I used the Simple Abundance fabric line by Thimble Blossoms, I love this fabric !!

It took me a little longer because I hand quilted straight lines with perle #8.  I love hand quilting and this is the first time I have used the perle , I really enjoyed it, the stitches don’t have to be so tiny.

I pieced the back, this picture is kind of bright … oh well

I added a border so it finished up measuring 74”x82”.

    actually if you hand quilted it I think that is a smokin finish.
