Black and White Quilt Reveal

Hello Blog World

So after months and months of talking about it, I finally have the reveal for you!!

Remember this sneak peak way back in January…

Well I am happy to say that it’s finally finished!!! Weeks and weeks of hand appliqueing, losing a panel because my dog got hold of it and thought it would be nice to play with in the backyard (thankfully it wasn't ruined, only a bit dirty, nothing a good hand wash couldn't fix), and miscutting my original fabric and having to rush off to buy more before the fabric shop shut was well worth it.  I am very happy with the way that this quilt has turned out!

Black and white my favourite combo!! I bought this in a kit many many moons ago, I can’t even remember who it’s by.  But as I said I am absolutely delighted in the way it has turned out.  It’s going up on the wall and will be a major focus of my gallery wall when I get around to completing it.

Finishing this quilt and doing a gallery wall was part of my goals for this year, so I am glad to have one ticked off…woohoo!!!  It’s just over 4 months since I declared my goals to the world so I might do a quick update later this week to let everyone know how I’m going.  What do you guys think?

Anyways thanks for your patience with this reveal it took a lot longer than anticipated to complete due to not actually doing any work on it for a long while, but it’s finally done and as I mentioned before I am ecstatic with the finished project. (sorry I ramble when I am excited).  This is my third quilt ever and I really love making them, I will have to start planning my next one I think.

Until then Happy Crafting

  1. Hey there! I came over courtesy of the Liebster award from "Cup of Jo"'s blog (http://kristyscupofjo.blogspot.com/2012/04/l-liebster.html). Congratulations on your award, and let me tell you, I think you've got a great blog!

    That quilt is amazing!!! Quilting is the one thing that I don't do yet-- I'm always interested in learning how, but I'm not sure if I'd be able to do it. The effect can be truly stunning when done well, just like this one <3

    In any case, I'm looking forward to following you and seeing you around in the future. See you again soon!

    Wow, I can't even imagine how long that took! I always tell myself one day I'll learn how to quilt. But it hasn't happened yet.
