Rail Fence Quilt

Those pictures were taken in London where two of my sons are living. I did this lap quilt for my youngest son. He lives in a cottage and asked me a quilt that would match with the style of his decoration. I understood that I should use brown and beige colors and find a graphic design. I chose the Rail Fence pattern. This is an easy pattern, quickly done. The quilt is machine pieced and hand quilted. The size is about 54" x 54". On the last picture you can see the large brown border. I must say that the result is stunning in the lounge of this cottage and my son and his wife are very happy with it. 

Mini Nine Patch

For many years Lucy's blog was one of my favorite sources of inspiration. I love Lucy's creations and pictures. This mini Nine Patch quilt is a reproduction of one of her miniatures. It is machine pieced and hand quilted. The size is 10.5" x 8". 

Antique quilt pink

  

Last February I have shown you the antique quilt I received from USA. In the box, together with the Monkey Wrench grey quilt there was a second one : this pink quilt. It's a wonderful antique 1870s quilt, the pattern is Water Mill small scale and the size is for a queen size bed. I love everything in it, but especially this incredible green sashing. The brown backing is as well beautiful (you can see it in the fourth picture). This is such an inspiring quilt, as regards the pattern, and the combination of colors!
