MAKING A QUILT FOR ME - ALENTEJANA, My

We all dream of having the right pattern with the right amount of fabric with the right amount of time to devote to it. Well this miracle happened to me this past January with my Alentejana quilt by Ships & Violins. And I loved it so much I’m keeping it. Come along with me as I show you how I did.

Really lovely, Karen! Great colour choices and combinations, on the back, too! For someone who is not a fan of brown (the colour!) as you say you are, you’ve shown how fabulously it can highlight other colours here. And oh my, I love your presentation - you’ve got such a lovely “manner” on video! Thank you so much for all of your shared tips, tricks , strategies and just goodwill!!

Your declutter challenge finish is lovely and so sweet that it’s for you. 2023 is the first time that I have done the declutter challenge myself and I also made a quilt I love from the results of processing all my scraps. I made a Plaidish scrappy as a gift! Now I’m working on “declutter challenge finish II”!

It’s beautiful Karen. I’m so glad you finished it and kept it for yourself. You don’t know how happy i was to hear even people that have long arming for a while, leave their quilts un quilted for a month or 2 or 3. I had one sitting around for almost 6 months, finally loaded it on my frame and there it sat for another month. I was so fearful of starting for fear i would ruin it with quilting. Well I didn’t, and I just entered it today in our local quilt quilt show. It’s beautiful, and whether it wins a ribbon or not; i just want others to see it. If i can do it, they can too. I was also surprise to see you stick a little piece of batting under the final inch or 2. I had no idea you could do that. So thanks for giving me an extra tip or 2. So grateful!❤

I started UFO’s and de clutter challenge this year and have made 5 quilts for Christmas gifts and now I’m starting on rag dolls. For some reason it seems like my mountscrapmore is getting bigger not smaller, But it feels so good to have that many gifts done and put away!
