This is probably my favourite quilt I've ever made (I know I say that all the time but this time, it's true, dammit!!) because it took a lot of patience, I learned new things, I worked with one of my favourite collections, and I finally made a quilt that I've been wanting to make for years!
I had my friend and boss Laura quilt it with the baptist fan pattern, and it came out so beautifully. I washed it and the quilting showed up even more... and you know I sat there for the longest time just running my hands over it!!!

Thanks for taking a peek, and if you're new to my blog, I hope you take a bit of time to have a look around. I apologise for my sarcasm and corny sense of humour in advance.
And major thanks to Amy for once again hosting this amazing festival!!!

I was wondering if you were going to enter this time round...
I love this quilt. I loved it when you first showed, and I love it now. I still haven't started my Single Girl...
Really hope you don't lose power with the storm. My mum's name is Sandy and she's feeling really guilty about it.
I think it's my favourite quilt of yours too :) Mine is still in theory at the moment. I.e. I haven't started it. :-/
Beautiful quilt.
Wonderful quilt! And your quilter did a great job with it.
This is a beautiful quilt!
Great to see this quilt again. I would be running my fingers over and over it too!
Your single girl is fantastic.
Love this quilt - it obviously took a long time and great care, but you did a wonderful job.
Love it ladycakes!
It is so beautiful and I love your sense of humour.
Goodness, this is a gorgeous quilt. I don't know that I've seen a single girl quilt with anything other than a white background and I must say yours is absolutely stunning. I love, love, love the gray. I found you through the Blogger's Quilt Festival - mine is number 254. :)
This is really a lovely accomplishment!!
Completely in love with your quilt. It's gorgeous!!!
Can I ask you what kind of batting you used? Love the look of the quilt after washing.
; )
hey, just wanted to tell you I'm thinking about you (all) in Conn. with
Hurricane Sandy. Hope everything works out o.k.
I've seen a lot of these quilts round the traps but I honestly think yours is one of the cutest I've seen. You're right- that quilting is utterly perfect (Ive been staring at it for the last 5 minutes myself and trying to touch it through my monitor )
I can see why this is your favourite dammit!
This is a beautiful quilt. I love your choice of colors.
Your quilt is really beautiful and I have something funny to tell you. I made the same quilt with the same fabric ~ background too. Strange isn't it!

Your quilt is beautiful and I love the overall texture the baptist fan pattern creates. I used it myself on a quilt earlier this year.
Beautiful quilt. Love how the colors pop with your grey background.
Love your Single Girl! Hope Valley is a favorite of mine.
My Single Girl is half way hand quilted - hope to finish it this winter. Yours is an inspiration to finish mine.
I love it. One day I will make one of these. :)
