A Year's Worth of Quilt

I am happy to report that I finished my quilt this week (the one I've been working on for close to a year)! There hasn't been much quilting content to post on the blog, as I've just been piecing and quilting and I live in an apartment with cave-like lighting--so photography of large projects is often not worthwhile.

I used the Moda U pattern for Chelsea's Boutique because it was love at first sight. I used stash fabric rather than the Chelsea's Boutique fabric and this is my first stash quilt! And it's all mine. :)


We'll be moving next Thursday a few miles down the road. I am so excited because I will have a sewing room with a sky light! I keep dreaming about the space I will have for all of my quilting supplies. Sigh. :)

I've decided to name the quilt "Miss Marple" in honor of the pleasant hours I spent watching her solve mysteries while I worked on my quilt. Very enjoyable!

Now I must get back to packing. Have a nice weekend!

Thank you, Annika & Sarah! I am so happy to be moved now and there have even been a few chilly evenings when I have been able to enjoy keeping warm under the quilt.

Ginger Patches & Karen, thank you, as well! The pattern was really simple to follow and I am happy to be admiring the fabrics (much better than when I had them stuffed away in a drawer!) It just reminds me that I shouldn't be afraid to cut into fabric. :)
