One - I finally decided to make a quilt that I had hiding in my quilt papers from sometime in 2005/6/7! And two - it is a line from one of my favorite movies - The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel!
This quilt has been made through the kindness of the Southern Connecticut Modern Quilt Guild, Denyse Schmidt, Terrie and Jennifer (members of my guild). SCMQG and Denyse threw down the challenge of making a quilt based on her patterns using her new Hadley fabrics - now available! Didn't make the first round of the challenge - limited number of bundles but through Terrie and Jennifer sharing their extras - game on!!
I created it Denyse style - using bags to put the strips in and them pulling them out blind. I really tried not to edit tooooo much but I kept pulling out the same color/print strip as I went along.
Love this quilt!!!
I let the quilt do the talking in terms of the quilting - never again - it wanted soooooo much! But I kept going and going and tying strings. Very pleased with it now but wow it was a lot.
Now it is to hang in Christie's shop for a special preview night with Denyse on the 11th (next week!)
Then it is going to hang in my house! Woo hoo!
Huge thank you to SCMQG and Denyse and Terrie and Jennifer for letting me play!!
Loved every minute of it! Even when tying off all those strings!
