Second Hand Clothes, A Finish

IMG_1904

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.

  4. 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!

  43. 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?
