Carrie Nelson's little story of the name of this pattern of hers - 4OT - is something about finishing this quilt while watching an exciting hockey game that went into 4 overtimes. Well I'm here to tell you, there were NO OVERTIMES required with this quilt. It was definitely one of the fastest and easiest quilts I've ever assembled. Nice big pieces and everything fit together nicely - it was a real pleasure to work with this pattern and these fabrics. I have a quilter lined up who will do this for me at the end of July, so there will be plenty of time to bind it and have it in the shop when the fabrics - Portobello Market by 3 Sisters for Moda - arrive in September.
Please, don't anyone be intimidated by a Miss Rosie pattern if you haven't made one before. It looks like a lot of pieces, but the effort is definitely worth the result. The hardest part of this one will be waiting until it's finished being a shop model so it can come home to live with me!
That's a really pretty quilt!
ReplyDeleteThat is an amazing transformation from the last picture. Adding the blue and red really makes it pop. Great job.
ReplyDeleteThis quilt turned out great! It does look like it goes together quickly. I know you are glad to have it done. Can't wait to see what is next on your plate.
ReplyDeleteLisa I LOVE it! That one's on my list and I'm so ready to do it...the Prairie Paisley fabric is calling to me...and I'm thrilled that it goes together so well. Carrie writes great patterns.
ReplyDeleteThat looks fantastic!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE that quilt!
ReplyDeleteAnd you do very nice work. That helps a lot!!! ;)
ReplyDeleteThis fabric line is really pretty. Yummy.
No, no, no. You have it all wrong. That quilt is coming to MY house to live, right? I am so smitten. Guess the only I will have my own is if I copy you once again.....
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty! The pattern and fabric are a perfect compliment to each other. I KNOW you won't part with this one, even though we're all dying to have it! I am going to purchase that pattern for sure. I'll patiently (not really) wait until September to get my hands on that gorgeous fabric, too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty quilt. Love it.
ReplyDeleteI agree about Carrie Nelson's patterns. I made Going My Way. It looked so intimidating, but it went together really nicely.
ReplyDeleteLove Portobello Market and I have a pre-order for a layer cake!
