Oh looky here at what I've got ! Isn't it great ? My lovely ALQS parcel arrived this morning from Becca. What a beauty ! It shows up a bit dark on my photo but my photography is not great to say the least. In the flesh the colours are beautiful - very rich purples and rusts. Just my cup of tea - lol !
Here is another photo with a close-up of the lovely hand-quilting. Such tiny stitches.
Becca also had a fantastic idea to pad out the box with squares from her scrap box. Wow ! I've had great fun sorting through and may have to have a play with these soon. It's so good having a nose at other peoples fabrics - lol ! Like when you're waiting in line in the supermarket and having a gander into other folks trolleys. Or is that just me ?
Anyway thankyou Becca - I love it.
I have been working on more borders for another quilt I've dug out and will show photos when I have anything to show.
Enjoy your week.

Lovely colours too!!
WOW!! It's beautiful, Andrea!! Do you know where you are going to hang it?
Beautiful quilt and rich in color and design. I just participated in a swap on a forum and received a quilt which doesn't deserve any mention. It was awful! But yours is definately a keeper and so thoughtful to send scraps. I adore your scrap quilts, especially the hand ones you do EPP on. What do you use for paper?
Enjoy your new little quilt, Ellena
What a cute mini-quilt. With the minis you can really see the pattern pop.
That really is a pretty mini quilt! Becca has done such a great job! Lucky you :o)
Lovely quilt in beautiful colors
Have a great and creative summer. From Norway:-))
The quilts in this swap have all been amazing, and this one is no exception. Wonderful. Lucky you.
Lucky you... What a beautiful quilt. I don't do hand quilting as I cannot hand sew in a straight line. It looks more like zigzag by the time I have finished. Nip over to my blog and take a look at my hexagons. I promised I would show you. I don't know how much bigger it is going to get, I am getting impatient and want to quuilt it. LOL Can't wait to see what you are up to.
This is a GREAT quilt! I love the deep purple fabric. What a treat to come visit after being MIA for so long and stumble upon this beauty.
...and hand quilted to boot!
Thank you for sharing!
