I've been busy this summer trying to finish up UFOs and getting them to their new owners. I started this quilt as a mystery quilt class over two years ago. Got the top done within a week of the class, but didn't quilt it until just before a quilt show on 4th of July in a little bedroom community just outside Portland.

This quilt went to my step daughter while she was visiting last week. I think she likes it

I freehanded the quilting on my Juki, which was very fun and relaxing, rather than trying to "stay in the lines"

Denise ... this is such a beautiful quilt! I love the colors and the way they weave in and out of the lattice pattern! So striking. Your stepdaughter certainly seems very happy with it, too ... great job!!

I am in awe....ahhhh, it's beautiful! Well done on the piecing and the quilting!
Cheers,
KimUK

absolutely lovely!!!

What a lovely quilt. I love purple. Good job.

Is that the quilt you are sending me, Denise? I just love it and I know it will have a happy home here in Michigan. I promise to put it on my bed every May when the lilacs bloom outside my bedroom window!

Meg, I hate to bear you bad news, but it's now in an undisclosed location in MOntana! If I told you, my step daughter would have to kill both of us. LOL. she and her dh are renewing their wedding vows today, wish we could be there!

(sigh) (sigh)

I am sure lilacs grow in Montana, too! LOL

OHHHHHH...AHHHHHH...
VERY PRETTY, Denise! I love lilacs ..they're my favorite flower. The border fabric is BEAUTIFUL!!!

Meg, lilacs grow up here, too! I bought two bushes this year, but set them out in low areas - silly of me! and they drowned with all the rain we had, so DH cut them down. I'll start again next year.
