Sharon's Latest Finish

Since the beginning of the year, Sharon has been in a blue-and-white mood, and the resulting blue and white quilts are wonderful. We began the year with our Snow Shoo quilts (she made one and I made one). Now she has finished an absolutely stunning Triple Irish Chain. This was the photo shoot from last Monday when she was here for our weekly sewing date. It is gorgeous!


 

You may recall that Sharon was inspired by the cover of a recent Minick and Simpson book.


The cover quilt has a zig-zag border which Sharon has opted to omit. There will be no borders on hers as she is nearly out of the blue she used. This borderless version looks spectacular, and really does not need anything else - its understated beauty speaks for itself.

Isn't it great to have finishes? Time together each week keeps us both on our game - we are now making plans to do another "together" project like we did with Snow Shoo. I think it will be using our Roman Holiday scraps in June. We need this much time to consider blocks and patterns that will accentuate our dwindling remnants. You'll be sure to hear all about it as we move toward the summer months.

Happy Quilting, Friends!

  1. Sharon's quilt is beautiful!! You guys are so inspiring and making it hard for me to stick to my resolution to finish up unfinished quilts this year and not start new quilts. I look forward to seeing what the new project is that you guys come up with.
