I'm proud to share a finished quilt today!
This is the hand pieced quilt along by Elm Street Quilts, started in January 2019 using the Moda fabric line called "hello luscious". The sampler blocks were hand pieced and stitched together by the end of April. It then became my take along project to quilt during the summer months.

I'm calling my quilt "Friendship Album" since I listened to an audio book by the same name while I was stitching this quilt.
Linking up to Meadow Mist Favorite Finish linky party.
This is very pretty and extra special since it's all hand work! I bet too the quilting was challenging with the extra seams in the backing. Happy Stitching!
ReplyDeleteKathy I just love your finish you are sharing today... as for the book or podcast you listened to... can you tell me more?? I followed your link but it led to a podcast and more questions than I think there really are! lol

Oh my I hardly recognize those blocks from the quilt along. I love the scrappyness and the fabrics really change it up. Yes those seams on the back are on issue when hand quilting. I seem to learn something new with each quilt I make. Congratulations on a great finish!
ReplyDeleteYour little quilt is beautiful, but I can understand why the quilting was so difficult.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is ao pretty! Congratulations on beautiful finish! :-)
ReplyDeletelove the little quilt and the colors you used
ReplyDeleteSweet finish! Congrats. I can't imagine hand piecing blocks but then again I never imagined I would ever complete a quilt by hand quilting.
ReplyDeleteKathy: The back is just as lovely as the front, congratulations on the finish.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely week

Love your Friendship Album. I still need to hand quilt mine. Great work, congratulations on the finish! The back is lovely!
ReplyDeleteFriendship Album is so pretty, Kathy! I've always loved the fabric you used for it. Congratulations on your finish!
ReplyDeleteI love how your quilt came out. You are making me want to prep mine for hand quilting next instead of the cat and mouse quilt. Good tip on the backing for a hand quilted quilt. I would not have thought of that.
ReplyDeleteLove your cute little finish. I listened to the podcast of the Friendship Album too on your recommendation. The tea cup/mug is perfect for this finish.
ReplyDeleteThat's a nice finish and the fabrics are really pretty!
ReplyDeleteI really love your quilt!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty finish, congratulations. I don't have a protect to share with your pinky today, but will enjoy reading all the other inspiring posts.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty Kathy! You do such lovely work! AND all hand work! Hand work is so beautiful and takes so long, but oh so worth it! Hugs
ReplyDeleteThat is a very cute quilt. I haven't hand quilted anything yet but plan to do so next year. I've made a note about not having too many seams on the backing fabric. Thank you as I think I'll need all the help I can get when I finally attempt it.
ReplyDeleteVery sweet finish! The colors are very soft and pretty! I especially like the tea and teapot sitting on it! :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats! My very first quilt was hand pieced and hand quilted. I've not hand pieced since. I am doing some hand quilting on a UFO.
