Charity quilt is done!

Corner Store

Despite the hand-quilting, I was able to bang this one out in short order.  I emailed the above photo to the school auction coordinator and it's already been posted on the website.  It's listed for $230, although I'd be really, really surprised if they get that much.  However, it is a winetasting/auction, so you never know.

finished school auction quilt

Quilt pattern is adapted from the Corner Store pattern from "Material Obsession".  The designs are actually hand-quilted (in other words, stitched through all three fabric layers of the quilt - top, batting and backing) in perle cotton.

Many more pictures of this quilt can be found on my flickr (look in the right hand column of the blog for a link).

Look what my sister made for me?

I will say it again! You do such fabulously amazing work! I love the quilt! Not to my unusual, usual taste, but this is fantastic. I just love the extra detail of the cherries, strawberries and flowers! Too much fun.

And can your sister adopt me? LOL
