After lots of this ...
and lots of this ...
I've ended up with this ...
Whew! Actually since taking this photo I have added some white sashing as a border (to cover up the edges of my wonky squares), and am now working on a simple piecing for the back.
I'm amazed by how quickly it all comes together once the sashing is added! Suddenly a pile of nine square blocks becomes a fairly recognisable quilt top! (If you need the back story behind the green tiles quilt it's here).
Check out the other green stuff over at Meet Me at Mikes ...
More about the adventures of the green tile quilt tomorrow! Hope you are all having a wonderful Saturday :)
Mel! Woweee! Your quilt top looks fantastic. Love the overall calming effect of the green fabrics. This is so much more than an amazing first quilt! Love it!

Rita, coming from you - "the guru" - that is a MASSIVE compliment! Thank you a million times over! I think I managed to get some of that green polka dot fabric you had in your recent post for my binding today. It was very $$$ but hopefully will set it off nicely :)
ReplyDeleteWOW Mel, that is amazing! You have done a wonderful job and what a lovely memory for your little angel, much love. xxx
ReplyDeleteI Agree with Rita it is Lovely...how will you do the Back...
ReplyDeletewow, wow, wow,wow, wow. It looks fantastically brilliant!!!! If I have ever seen a quilt made from love thats IT!!!! Just Beautiful. xx
ReplyDeletewow! gorgeous I love it.
ReplyDeleteOh Mel! How beautiful! I can't believe how fast it has come along ..... the love for your little soul just shines through those green 'tiles'. May it always bring you comfort when you wrap it around you. Looking forward to seeing it in person soon. X
ReplyDeleteThat is so lovely. I'm going to try it with a white square in the middle. I wonder if I can mix it up with the 70 blocks I've done for the quilt along. Then I could make one big enough for my bed!! Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteIt looks excellent Mel! Congrats on a beautiful quilt top.
ReplyDeleteLOVELY first quilt! Well done! I adore green and I love your fabric choices... I see a lot of Amy Butler in it... divine! And what a great story behind it! I, also, plan on using a bath for delivery if at all possible...once I'm pregnant, I suppose. I hear its the greatest thing since sliced bread! I do NOT want drugs!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness!! It looks AMAZING!! you go girl!
ReplyDeleteOh the quilt is looking so so so good! It is quiet and relaxed, refreshing, and I hope it brings you some calm :)
