I am so pleased with this quilt. Every single bit of it, I love. The pattern is Second Hand Clothes by Bonnie Blue/Red Crinoline, and the fabrics mostly Kim Diehl designs over the past year or two. There is a vibrancy to the quilt that makes my eye dance over its surface. There is liveliness, optimism, and hopefulness that just jumps out at me when I look at it. This quilt just says "Yes".
This quilt is destined for someone I dearly love, and I tell you, I said a prayer with every stitch I made.
It just says -- 'snuggle up'...love it.

YES!! This quilt is a charmer, for sure, and your bright idea to have a variety of colors for the setting triangles was definitely spot on. Applause, applause! The loved one who receives this quilt will feel the love it holds.
May I ask how large the blocks are?
Hugs!

You never cease to amaze me. How do you manage to make so many beautiful projects? I've followed you for a long time and you get better with "age". My main question, how do you know how much fabric you'll need? I always seem to have to order more fabric. How do you do it? I have a stash, however?

I really like how you varied the setting triangles. It really sets the top off and carries the pattern/feel to the edge.
