Pretty as a Picture

And Gill's Miniature Marvel.

So far this month I have had the pleasure of finishing two exquisite tops. 

The first was this medallion quilt, with its immaculately needle turned batik leaves, by Stasha's friend,  Elizabeth. She left me plenty of space to play in. I had fun working my feathers in around the leaves and hand embroidered stems.

There was even room for some curls in the inner border. She does such lovely work; one day I hope to meet her in person.   

Then it was on to our Gill's incredible Scrappy Irish Chain...

What a stunner!





The nine patch units FINISH at 1.5 inches. That's even smaller than I do!




 Gill asked for a fairly loose design on the main pieced section, so I did an edge to edge trailing flower and curl.

After putting our heads together, Gill decided to add a wide outer border of plain white. This gave me the perfect opportunity to show off! I completed the whole border in one continuous line. 



I DID enjoy that! 








The pretty Edyta Sitar print on the back finished it off nicely. 

A lovely going away present for her daughter.

Happy Quilting Everyone - Stay safe and keep cheerful!
