Betty's collection of scraps, regardless of how tiny, are being worked into a real masterpiece and, as usual, it is all hand pieced.
There's a few sentimental blocks included too, like this one. A number of years ago, our friend Ann brought both of us terrific little Liberty scrap bags from a trip to England and several have found their way into this block. I believe the pieces finish off at 1" in size. It's part of the charm of this gentle art that we can weave in those little messages, isn't it?The dreamy rose taupe floral that you see bordering two sides of the block will be the sashing, keeping everything wonderfully muted.
So how about a little block parade?This is my favourite. I shared it with you when I posted about winning the book and am still determined to find a way to work it into a quilt. Such a beauty!
This one is almost lacey.Another pretty basket. The combinations are beautiful - it is going to feel like a tapestry.A little zig zag...Makes your head spin, doesn't it?When Betty showed it to our friend Linda a few months back, Linda methodically worked through the stack of blocks one by one, just wanting to take it all in. So looking forward to seeing everything together!....M

I love your gifted brights quilt and the quilting motif is so beautiful.
Meanwhile, how beautiful too are these blocks. I love the unique setting for some of them and of course, the fabrics are divine.
OMG this is truly a masterpiece and whomever sleeps under this quilt will "surely be comforted by love". So very happy and fortunate to share the love of quilting and creating with all of you. Blessings of this day...xo
