The Winning Flowers




I just have to share these "beautiful flowers" that I won tonight at a Guild Mtg.  Cathy graciously donated them as a door prize, and what an awesome prize to win.  I have taken various pictures of all 3 sides to give you a sense of the colors in the arrangement.  Thanks Tons Cathy, I am a lucky gal and will enjoy them.

Project Finished


My first quilting magazine I subscribed to is "Quilter's World and I got my first issue and on the front cover they had their version of the Drunkards Path, so I made it.

Here it is on my design wall.


I changed it up a bit and added the extra row on the 4 colours trying to make it appear as if it was turning the corner on top of the fabric, while the others went underneath the fabric.  Not sure I accomplished what i was hoping for, but it was great fun.   I also made my sashing around the edge in the same "bleeding hearts" fabric by "Free Spirit". This is a really great quality fabric, and is becoming a favourite. 


The quilting is just a simple meandering.

Here it is with the binding on it.  I selected black binding 


I did not quite have enough fabric to complete the back in one color.  I used a variety of left over fabric from making the quilt for the back.  

Hope you enjoy my finished  project.
