On my design wall

Loving it! I’d call it Anticipating Spring if I could ever remember the fancy names I give quilts so I guess I’ll go with Green Hourglass!

    I love this already!! I reminds me of the forest and the sun twinkling through leaves of trees… can’t wait to see it all put together!

  • NancyB in AZ:

    Michele T. described my feelings too. I love that border fabric. Do you know the name and manufacturer?

  • That border fabric is ABSOLUTELY PERFECT for the hourglass blocks. Good choice!

  • Susan:

    I love what you’ve done so far on this quilt. That’s perfect border fabric too :o )

  • Great colors. Looks wonderful already.

  • It is perfectly Spring! Lovely quilt.

  • This is beautiful. I especially love the colors.

  • Flatlander (Linda):

    GREAT quilt, Mary … what a delight for these winter-weary eyes!

  • Judy:

    I’m loving it too. Another great example of choosing the border (or the back) first and then customizing the controlled scrap palette to work with it. Too often I do the center first and then can’t find just the right border to go with it. Your way is much more effective.

  • Chris:

    You should bring that one to Georgia! Reagan (and her Dad) love this quilt!

  • evelyn:

    Would definitely be one of my favorites. Perfect border fabric.

  • I chuckled! I’m likely to give my quilts prosaic names like “Scrappy Log Cabin” or “Hearts and Squares” unless a really good name presents itself straight away (like “Dotty Bright” — so named because it was made of very bright fabrics and the back was composed of dot fabrics plus it has a wide border of colourful dots on the front!)
