Thank you to everyone for your kinds thoughts and concern. I really appreciated your comments. Happy to report that I am fully recovered - which means I have to go back to work. Drats!
Because I made the cross shaped blocks first, the remainder of this quilt came together in good time.
I probably won't tell my son I've called it Iced Mocha Latte as he's a bit blokey. He'd say something like "Aahhh, maarrrmm!".
The backing fabric I found isn't quite the right shade of brown so I'm thinking I might dye it a slighter deeper shade.
Then I can quilt it. All 68 1/2 square inches of it. On my Janome QC6260.
Why don't I make miniatures?
Happy Stitching
Its beautiful Ann and I love the name, I do love an iced mocha latte :) with a dash of vanilla ;) G;ad to hear you are well again

Miniaturers are fun to make :o) The name on your quilt are so correct for this fantastic quilt. From my newest book, from Piece O'Cake, I realy like all of the prosjects in this book. I like the collours and the fabrics - It's a "must to have" book :o)

ReplyDeleteIt's a gorgeous quilt and the name suits it perfectly, just tell your son to get over it!
ReplyDeleteQuilting a quilt that size on a domestic machine is always a challenge, but I'm sure you'll manage.

So glad that you are fully recovered. It's no fun being sick.
ReplyDeleteI love the very colorful pincushion in your previous post.

It looks just amazing. Don't turn to miniatures for the effect wouldn't be the same.
