~ Winter Blues Blog Hop ~ Morning Glory ~

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 ðŸ’™ 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.


And don't forget to visit all the fabulous blogs participating in this blog hop.


 You can see my review of the BladeSaver Thread cutter here.  And the Third hand Binding Folder Clip here.



Thank you for stopping by my little spot in Podunk!

    Such a pretty quilt. I love straight line quilting as an all over design. I wish more people did that. It really shines here.

    Congrats 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.

    So 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.

    Oh, 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!

    That definitely deserved to be moved from a UFO. Congratulations on the lovely finish that it is.

    OK, 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!!

    Wow 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.

    Lea 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!

    Beautiful 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.

    Kudoos on a finish! I'm not a blue nor white person; more red & scrappy, so can relate. Thanks for sharing!
