Yes, this is still a quilting blog.
Crazy, eh?
This time last year Mr M and I were having a glorious time touring Tennessee, tasting whiskey in a dry county, listening to great music and generally having a fabulous time. And fabric, yes fabric was bought from the lovely Anna Maria Horner who lives in Nashville and dropped my parcel off to the hotel where we were staying.
(Incidentally I hadn't heard of Nashville the TV program then and, sadly I didn't buy any boots either. Sigh)
Anyway, Nashville + fabric = quilt.
All fabric is Anna Maria Horner fabric, and while the centre star was carefully constructed and the different pattern carefully placed the border is kind of random. I cut strips and started sewing them around and around the big centre block. I did keep them in the same sequence and I'd like to think that made a little difference.
It's about 70" by 70". Odd size but it'll make a very warm sofa quilt.
Mine all mine.
Or a tablecloth....
Who knows. Que sera, sera....
Gorgeous! I like how the boarder is more blue on one side and more red on the other. Enjoy! x

It's AMAZING. I'm so envious of you going to Nashville, and also of your quilt now too.

Sooo gorgeous! But you must promise me not to use it as a tablecloth--someone might spill! xx
