My New Quilt!

Selecting the right colour binding I find to be very important.
Which colour do I wish to 'pop' - orange looks amazing..hmmm..but the blue will soften the Quilt...
Any suggestions?......


A Quilt Jigsaw Puzzle

You know you are a quilter when you are on vacation with your family, hence,  all your 'Quilties' are in your Studio,
Alas, you do a Quilt Jigsaw Puzzle!  My children with their respective companions enjoyed the puzzle immensely.

My Seaside Quilt

I know.....a Quilt by the seaside! The quilts were so enjoyed during that afternoon nap.
As we would say in Jamaica - 'When you are Feeling the rum, Belly-a- Full, Sun on the body.....say no more"

    I´d say blue for the binding!

    Hi Carolyn,
    Your quilt looks beautiful, I vote orange :)
    Hard to believe it was a year ago my hubby and I were on the cliffs in Negril, so beautiful. Ahh sorry, a little moment there. I love the pictures of your quilts, they look very nice. It must be a challenge to acquire your fabric, I bet that makes it even more rewarding to finish one! Keep up the good work, I can't wait to come back to Jamaica one day. Happy Quilting

    Hi Carolyn
    Your blog is beautiful! And your quilts are gorgeous. I understand your passion for quilting as I have a passion for scrapbooking that sounds very much similar to yours.
    Looking forward to working with you on the Cathedral blog.

MODERN QUILTING

MODERN QUILTING I am an avid 'BlogLand' reader! The Quilting World is amazing, it's so interesting how quilting has evolved and continues to find new heights! I am a traditionalist, I love antiques, I love the 'ole feeling of warmth, of history, of a story. I also love the simplicity of the past - the minimal embellishment of the Modern World I have been drawn lately to Modern Quilting, but.. what is Modern Quilting? Although late in the BOM(Block of tthe Month), I have ventured over to 'Sew Mama Sew' to do the "Modern Block of the Month" which ended in June..lol.. Thus far, I have done 4 blocks which I will feature tomorrow. http://www.sewmamasew.com/blog2/july2011/ModernBOM.jpg. Thus far it has been fun.... Do hope you visit 'Sew Mama Sew'..I am enjoying the journey! ENJOY! "CAROLYN"

I have enjoyed reading all 4 Issues of the 'Irish Quilting ' magazines. The premier Issue I found particularly good. The photos are amazing and the articles are informative. I decided to make the quilt ' Mind the Garden' using my Morris Garden Fabrics. A fabric line I love. Stitching the binding on a quilt is a relaxing time. Your creation is complete. I will now write in my Quilt Journal the lessons I have learnt and the joy while making the quilt.
