Begun in 2012 as a Block-of-the-month by Gay Bomers of Sentimental Stitches and finished in 2021, this quilt taught me almost all I know about quilting!
Last year, my Just Takes 2 Quilt (pattern by Gay Bomers of Sentimental Stitches) finally got quilted, nearly ten years after I began it!
Tina Katwal of The Square Inch did a fabulous job and the quilting is nothing short of exquisite! Here is a gallery of some of my favourite blocks! I included some pictures of the back; zoom in to see the quilting.
Here goes the sun…The lights come on as the sun is ready to go down…What is there not to love?An eight-point star I made the wrong size and added the border to make it up to 6″Framed in yellow!More needleturn…Another Favourite BlockLike that little yellow airplane?Some very well-loved traditional blocks…Yet another pretty one!…from the backTextures!Gorgeous Textures!And intricate blocks…Another look at the back…Lots of points there to matchOne of my top favourites!Sweet!Just love this!I like how the golds brighten up the proceedingsSo proud of this one!This was my first-ever bit of applique!
The colours so remind me of the monsoon evenings at home in India, with the red of the sunset playing hide and seek with the charcoal grey, water-laden clouds! The original, incidentally, is in red and white. Here is the full quilt!
The Just Takes 2 Quilt
Such a sense of achievement finishing an UFO! What have you been doing-creating more UFOs or finishing up the projects in hand?
Beautiful work on the “Just Takes 2” quilt. You must be very happy to have it done now! 🙂
Thank you, yes! I have almost half a dozen more projects to complete, but I find myself jumping into a new project every time! You do that, too?
