After my sister hanged her Double Four patch quilt in Paris, I thought it's time for me to hang as well one of my quilts instead of leaving them in a closet or as a sofa's throw. This Four Patch quilt was perfect for the size of a wall in my lounge. I sewed a hanging sleeve at the back, as shown in My tutorial and asked my husband to fix a rod on the wall. I am happy with the result and the good thing is that if ever I get tired of it I can change it easily. It gives a warm and cheerful touch to the room.

I thought the shawl was finished, but my daughter who took those pictures wants it for herself and wants fringes. So there will be another post showing it with fringes. Therefore I have to make another one for myself! It is becoming "shawl mania" in this house! Meanwhile I am still working on extending my Gypsy quilt top. Not only "shawl mania" but as well "gypsy mania"...

Double Four Patch Quilt in Paris

This is the last episode of the Double Four Patch quilt series that began years ago in Athens and ends now in Paris, hanged in my sister's lounge. Thanks to the interest she shown in this project I managed to finish it! Otherwise it may have remained in my UFOs closet for some more years...

When I received those pictures, I was so happy to see how well it matches with the furniture of my sister's lounge. She is as well so happy with it!
