I wanted to show you my finished Opposites Attract Quilt in Alison Glass’s Handcrafted line, which will be at Market this weekend in her booth! I hand quilted this beauty pretty densely with Perle cotton in the same color order as the quilt was pieced. I love that the colors pop without being overwhelming or...

I think this turned out fabulous!! I am still in the hesitant phase of quilt making. I have an idea for a quilt for my oldest and some fabric, but am still gearing up for the cutting and pairing part. You’ve inspired me since yours is so beautiful. I might even add some embroidery. Fantastic job!!
Beautiful Meredith!
I had to come over from Flickr when I saw this quilt and read the blog post, it’s such a beautiful quilt! I bet your friend was over the moon with it :D
Thank you, Sarah! She really liked it. :)
