New quilt for Four Season Quilt Swap 5

The rules were you had to use one color family and you could use black white or grey and one accent color. My partner wanted orange or red. Well I thought orange was easier, a greater range of color. I used blak and greenas my accent. She also wanted it to be an autumn quilt. Well this was right up my ally and I loved doing it. It went together so fast and easy, just one afternoon and evening and it was done. I am going to have to make me one now because I love it so much.

A close up of the quilting. As you can tell they are autumn leaves.

Summer Quilt

I received this great quilt from Gwen. It is the last of the Four Season Quilts. I am sad to see the swap come to a close. It has been a fun thing to be a part of. I have gotten 4 wonderful quilts and I feel that I now have a little piece of the world. This quilt has come to me all the way from Germany. Gwen said she picked the fabric up while on a trip to her home country of Brittany in France. She said the fabric it typical Breton fabric. Well all I can say is that I LOVE IT!!!
Gwen has fussy cut little pictures bordered them with blue and yellow. Then she cut them askew and sashed them with red. Look at the detail on the mitterd boarder. Such attention to detail. Great work!

Yellow and Blue is one of my favorite color combinations. My kitchen is yellow and I have many blue things to go in it. This will look great in it.

All these great sea scapes.

This woman just looks sad to me. I wonder if she is missing her homeland. I can tell you I am sure enjoying a little bit of Brittany via Germany.
