So, here is Somewhere over the Rainbow there are String Beans!
The block pattern is String Beans by Stephanie of Loft Creations. Great pattern. Easy to assemble. The setting is my variation. You can click on the pictures and make them bigger to see all the dottiness.
Cass (my long arm quilter) used a new to me pattern in the quilting. It reminds me of clouds or the way the goo moves in a lava lamp (yes I do have issues). It is spaced farther apart them some of the other designs she has used. I'm on the fence about this one. I like the movement of the design but it made the quilt puffier than I had hoped. Oh well - it will be fine. I have no illusions that I am making heirloom quilts. I am making quilts that make me, and hopefully others happy.
I wanted to get a picture of the backing I used for this quilt. It is big dots that are dotted - dotty dots! As I went to take the picture Big Dude came to investigate.
He is currently curled up inside the quilt taking a nap. What a smart cat! Between the stupid time change and the rain, a nap would be the perfect use of my time today. However, life has other plans for me. I need to find my car keys. Tomorrow is suppose to be a better day weather-wise. I'm looking forward to it.
Happy stitching-

ReplyDeleteI love your dottiness! :) Yesterday it rained here all day long and I do mean all day. I don't know how much we got but I was getting out the oars before it quit. But finally this afternoon the sun came out. I get crazy if I don't see the sun for a few days so I know my husband was glad to see it! :) blessings, marlene

ReplyDeleteI love your quilt..it looks so cuddly and warm...of course, the same can be said for Big Dude...he's got a bowl of milk just waiting for him anytime he wants to show up here at Chez Mc Floss!
ReplyDeleteBlessings always
So cute! Love all those dots! :)
ReplyDeleteReally fun and cheerful and smile-inducing. I like the quilting as it is. Has this been washed since being quilted? Maybe that would take a bit of puffiness away that you see.
ReplyDeleteHappy, fun, definitely makes me smile. Love it. If you haven't checked yet the forecast for the rest of the week is sunshine!!!
