The Summer Quilt





The Vintage Modern quilt is DONE! I have been working on it for most of the summer and it's seems appropriate that is finished just a few weeks before the official start of fall. This is going to a customer who really has become a friend. She bought the baby quilt I made in this same fabric last year, and asked if I would make a larger version  and a pillow for her bedroom. I am packing them up and sending them on their way.




The calendar says that summer is almost over, but you wouldn't know it by being outside. I just got back from returning my pool tags and seeing the pool crew cover the pool for the winter. It is 90+ degrees and my AC is going full throttle!! I want to be burning my chai candles and making soup. Maybe next week.
Now that the quilt is done, I am working on some curtains for my house. The black gingham will be up during September, October and November, and I am going to make some in red for the rest of the year. You can never have too much gingham.  Or sunflowers. Or pumpkins.

    Your quilt and pillow look lovely! I think I will need to make one for my baby's crib quilt with a Scrumptious layer cake I just got :)

    PS:
    With the prarie points...do you tack them down? I wasn't sure if they would get wrinkly after washing the quilt.

    I adore the quilt! The first quilts I made were pinwheel quilts for my girls, I never tire of the pattern. Love the black gingham too!

    Your quilt and pillow turned out beautifully. I bet she can not wait to get them. Oh how I agree with you, yesterday it was like 96 or 97 and I am so ready for cooler weather. It just takes a while to get to South West Texas.
    Hugs
