Today I'm sharing my Morning Glory quilt for The Winter Blues Blog Hop. This quilt has been in the needs to be quilted pile for about 3 years. You can see the original post with color inspiration here. The blog hop was the perfect opportunity to finally finish the beauty. She's a little out of my color and style comfort zones. But I tell you what.... I 💙LOVE 💙 her.
There was plenty of white space for custom quilted feathers but I felt a simpler quilting design would make her shine in all her glory. All of the fabrics but one is Kona Solids from Joann's. The green leaf fabric is quilt shop quality but I can't remember what line of fabric. Quilted using my favorite thread, MicroQuilter 7002. I love how this thread blends into every color fabric.
Keeping it simple was the theme all the way down to the machine binding. This was a no fuss quilt. Well except for her large size, 91 x 91! Just the right size for the spare bedroom bed.
A big ole thank you to Carla at Creating in the Sticks for hosting The Winter Blues Blog Hop. Be sure to hop over to her blog to enter the giveaway everyday during the blog hop.

Such a pretty quilt. I love straight line quilting as an all over design. I wish more people did that. It really shines here.
ReplyDeleteHi Lee Anne! What a pretty quilt and I'll bet you feel fabulous having it finished?! I also LOVE how you quilted this piece. Just a perfect choice to let the quilt sing and shine. I can feel all the quilty goodness from here. ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the finish, I know that was such a relief to get it done. Sometimes the quilts we frown on while they are under construction end up being out favorites. A lovely finish it is.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous finish it is too. Love the clean look of it. I am going to have to check out your thread suggestion. I've never heard of it.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous finish to a beautiful quilt. Thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you got this finished, it is too pretty to be sitting in a UFO pile. I love the crispness of this design. Thanks for hopping with us.
ReplyDeleteOh, that's a fabulous finish! I always like crosshatching, no matter what direction. It does enhance your wonderful design, too. I'm glad it isn't a UFO any more!
ReplyDeleteThat definitely deserved to be moved from a UFO. Congratulations on the lovely finish that it is.
ReplyDeleteOOOOH....I love this quilt! Morning Glories are one of my favorite flowers and I like all that white space. So very fresh looking! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOK, everyone is finishing up their UFO's. Now I feel bad. Guess I will have to get off this beast and pull out one of my 51 UFO's and finish something!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great quilt!! I'll be looking forward to your pattern release. Thanks for sharing with the Hop!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful quilt! I love all the white space around the design. It is absolutely stunning! I will visit your Etsy shop very soon! Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteAs always, you've made a wonderful quilt. Not your colors but I, too, love the quilt and the blues. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteIt may not be your signature colors but indeed it is very lovely. Glad you were able to finish it up.
ReplyDeleteWow I love that quilt and the simple quilting just makes it look so comfy and cozy. How nice to finish up something and have it off the UFO list.
ReplyDeleteLea Anne, this is a great quilt to get you out of your comfort zone! Blue is not my comfort zone either. This looks awesome! Aren't you glad you got it completed?!! I've been reading your posts about the cutter and I think I may have to hop over and grab that before the coupon expires!! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt design.
ReplyDeleteSo gorgeous. I love the simple quilting and makes it look so fresh and crisp. So perfect. Thank you for sharing and for joining the Winter Blues Blog Hop!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful quilt!! I love the colors...reminds me of spring!!!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty pattern. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I think you chose the perfect quilting for this quilt, I love the texture of the cross hatching!
ReplyDeletePerfection in every way!! Really, really love it!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful design! It would look pretty with feathers quilted too, but I love how the simplicity of your choice helps us focus on the colorful flowers. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteKudoos on a finish! I'm not a blue nor white person; more red & scrappy, so can relate. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis is my absolute favorite of all your quilts. I wish you would write a pattern for it. I love it.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt!
ReplyDeleteWow! how do you get that machine binding so perfect?!!
