I have had mixed feelings about this quilt. It is the second quilt I have made from these blocks that I recieved in a charm square swap ages ago. Maybe I have just had enough of these blocks as I have had it sandwiched and pinned, ready to quilt for the last 2 weeks, just drapped over the ironing board, waiting patiently...
Then seeing as the baby it is meant for is nearly 6 months, thought it was time I actually finished the thing! I didn't want to have just a mass of colour in the center like I did for
this Disappearing 9 Patch quilt, I thought if I framed each with white, sort of a window effect? Looking back now I think I should have done the white "cross" part thinner, its 2 inches, maybe half that would have been better?
I like the back. I used up the last of the squares so I won't be tempted to make another!
I stippled each of the pink and purple areas seperatly and then on the white, I stippled one long wavy line all the way around. In a nice pale pink cotton. Now it is all washed, label on, folded up on the ironing board ready to post to it's new home tomorrow.

Love it.
Love the colours and the design.
Lucky new owner!!!
You've done a lovely job!
I like how you chose to break
up the colors with the sashing.
I think I will try that with
my next D9P project. Inspired
once again!
It's gorgeous. I just love the pink.
Helen looks great.
I'm glad to find you. I will come regulary,maybe every day:):)
I love your works!!
Looks fine for a baby quilt Helen...I think you are just over the block...Post it off and be done with it! :P
such a pretty little quilt!! so girly!!
oh its so lovely helen! i love purple and pink together but i totally understand being tired of a particular fabric. it turned out very pretty and surprisingly different from the other. i think the sashing was a nice width.
Just lovely Helen! It does look like windows - maybe stained glass windows - the wider sashing is perfect for that idea.
this is a beautiful quilt.
It's stunning... back and front. the white framing makes it pop!
