At the beginning of this year when the #economyblockalong started, I got brave. And this happened.

O my goodness. It is amazing. Here's how it came to be.

I took all the AMH off it's special shelf, threw it on the floor, and separated it into colors. Then I stared at it for days thinking "I cannot cut this. I just can't".
Then I did, and I hated it. I got the red and orange up on the wall and decided that this was not working. My IG friends convinced me to keep it going.
Once I got the yellow up, I was a little more sold.
And by the time the green started, I knew something magical was happening.

This is basically the ultimate tribute to Anna Maria Horner. Now it is time to have it quilted. I think I am going to get mom to do it because it it huge. 80x80. The only other quilt that size that I have pushed through my machine is the Single Girl, and it was no picnic. Hopefully more pictures soon!
It is amazing! You go, girl! I know exactly how you feel. I have very little Good Folks because I came to quilting after the fact (sad face) BUT I have acquired mostly half yards (uh oh) of most other lines. I recently started my medallion quilt which is made up of mostly AMH fabrics and it has been thrilling and scary to make at the same time!
ReplyDeleteOh. Wow. Yes, I would say it definitely works…beautiful. Nice work there.
ReplyDeleteMegan I can honestly say this is my favourite quilt ever, I just love it. So brave of you to cut into your collection, but you have the most perfect quilt from it, to showcase all those gorgeous prints. I am very envious!
