My quilt is one I finished three year’s ago, I actually made the quilt in the early 90’s. I started piecing it before my DH gave me my 1230 Bernina, which I love and still use today! So when I got my new machine, of course, I started sewing with it. Seam allowances changed and the block sizes changed, what a challenge. I really wanted it bigger and I worked with the blocks to make as many work and be happy together and decided a finished quilt was better than an unfinished top!!!
I love the background fabric and they antique look of the quilt.
I entered it at the Buggy Barn Quilt Show in 2006, I love seeing it pictured with all the quilts in this show. I edited the picture so only my quilt is shown.
Now I must catch up on the show, talk with you soon.
Blessings, Carrie

Well, it is a lovely quilt for the show. I know exactly what you mean about different machine changes block sizes..and I swear I still have that 1/4" seam allowance. :-) Makes it hard to start a quilt on somebody else's machine.
Beautiful quilt!
Your quilt is lovely and very much show worthy.
I feel the same way about starting and finishing on the same machine. Your quilt is beautiful! You do great work!
What a great quilt - add in the thrill of showing it at the Buggy Barn, you've got an heirloom on your hands *s*
This is a truly beautiful quilt!
Your quilt is so beautiful! I can imagine you loved seeing at the quilt show. It does look old and yet the colors really jump out at you. It is a wonderful combination of colors. Thanks for sharing it.

Your quilt is lovely. Great job. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful quilt. I can totally relate to the seam allowance difference between machines.
Very kind beautiful duvet .
I had to click on the picture to get a better look. I find few quilters who dare to combine oranges and blues...and your quilt does it well.
A lovely quilt.
I love your quilt - great pattern & great colors.
There is a reason why group quilts don't work - seam allowances!
