The photos are not of high standard but you can get an idea of what the quilt looks like.
It's called, An Angels Story, from the book by Anni Downs.
All the fabrics were leftovers from another quilt which I am currently hand quilting and haven't blogged about it, another one of those with lots and lots of hand applique...
Each block combines applique and embroidery.
Although its just a top at the moment, I consider it done as I'm not planning to quilt it in the near future. Perhaps one day when I get my quilting machine ...
And the good thing about it all is that I can tick off as one of my completed goals for this year.
... Next I'm doing something completely different, all machine pieced queen size quilt. Photos will come once top is completed.
I also got some fabric yesterday to make something small for my mom's birthday in a couple of months's time.
And I'll continue with the ongoing projects: Barbara Brackman Civil War blocks, Civil War Bride Quilt and Rainbow Scrap Challenge.
Your quilt is lovely Celia, can't imagine how many hours you spent working on it. It will be a real heirloom.

ReplyDeleteOh wow, this is one gorgeous quilt. I love the combination of patchwork and embroidery. I can't imagine the number of hours that went in to completeing it!
ReplyDeleteLove your new fabrics! And I love your angel quilt! I looked for Ani Downs patterns when I was there and couldn't find much. I especially wanted to see if I could find her garden BOM - I hope she makes it a pattern so I can buy it someday!
