This quilt is finished! I hand-quilted it in a week, including hand-binding it. I hadn't realized that it's large enough to cover a twin bed--a nice surprise!
Should Giles choose to accept it, it's going back to New York with him.
I think this is perhaps my favorite of the quilts you have posted. I love the humble, earthy, wholeseome brown tones and the bright spark of blue in the middle. Amazing. I love it!
Another wonderful quilt! I do so love your ability to create such beauty from the leavings. When you do these lovely eclectic combinations of fabrics, mixing cottons and wool and such, is the quilt washable?
I wish Giles would choose to give it to some random lady on the internet. Namely, me. :) I think it is my favorite you've made so far. That turquoise square just captures my imagination!
I am an evangelical Christian. I have two daughters whom I homeschool: Bella (15), and Daisy (8), and three older children: Giles (21), a college graduate, Felix (19), a college junior, and Clara (17), a college freshman. I'm 42 years old and happily married to my Dear Composer. We live in a 1920's school converted into a home, outside of town. And God is good.
Feel free to Pin my photos, but please link back to the page you found them on.
Photography
Photography is an important part of life at my house. Photos that appear here are taken by Giles, by the Composer, and by me. Giles is a real, paid photographer, and he uses a Sony Alpha. Most of the photography prior to September 2008 is his. Since then I have done most of the shooting and I use a Konica Minolta. Additionally, the Composer offers me nice shots on occasion, often from his little Canon point and shoot. I've given up trying to note who's done what. Thanks for your interest!

If Giles isn't interested, I would be. :) Love the quilt and the title.
It looks like his kind of thing.

Just beautiful Anna. I love how the turquiose (?) square on the quilt matches the bedside table.
Love the brown hues~some day, some day, I'll learn to quilt~

That pop of turquoise in the midst of the browns and neutrals is just perfect.

Kimberlee, I would never make a quilt I wouldn't throw in the wash! They're for living on, not just looking at, in my opinion.
Oh So pretty... I know Giles will love it..
Thanks, Anna. That's what I suspected you would say, just wasn't sure about washing the wools. :-)
Really nice quilt! Love those colors together!
Do you use a frame or a hoop when you quilt?
Love the pop of aqua!
