You cannot help but smile...



This is a picture of the latest quilt made for a friend, well actually for her daughter, Lily.  We started with the colours pink and orange and this is what it grew into.  There is no way you can work on a quilt in these colours and not smile.  It was a delight to play with the fabric and see where it led.

My personal philosophy of quilting is that we do not have enough fun.  Why spend so much time torturing ourselves?  Do these colours match?  Oh no my points are cut off!  Why won't this lie flat?

Relax, breathe, have faith and create.  A quilt is love.  Pure and simple.

I am very pleased with how this quilt turned out, right down to the Laverne style L in the corner.  Hope Lily likes it too :)
