Mon Ami Bound and Finished

 I finished the rest of the quilting and the binding for my Mon Ami quilt on Wednesday night, but it has been raining for 3 days straight so I wasn't able to go outside to take a photo of it till this afternoon.

I added a light blue fabric as the binding to help frame out the yellow border.

  1. It is just gorgeous... love all the quilting you have done as well xxx

  2. Oh Leah this is just gorgeous, I love it.

  3. Your quilting on Mon Ami is beautiful! It's such a stunning little quilt!

  4. I'm drooling. This is beautiful! You are so talented. It looks like a quilt that belongs in a family painting or photograph.

  5. This IS gorgeous! Just beautiful! Love the blue and yellow! Great job! Is this your own pattern, or what is the source?

  6. Hey Mary Jo, I was going to respond to your question through email, but your comment came as "no-reply blogger" which means I can't respond via email. So I will post the answer here hoping you will see it.

    The pattern comes from a Schnibbles pattern by the same name. I didn't buy the pattern though. It is really just a variation of some Friendship Star blocks put together with some half square triangles for an inside border. Some patterns that use traditional blocks I can figure out for myself on how to put them together without having to buy the pattern and this pattern was one of those. Plus the pattern called for a more scrappy charm pack, but I don't have any of those and since I am on a fabric diet, I used what I already had on hand and went for a more controlled scrappy color scheme. My exact measurements of the finished quilt may be off from the pattern since I made my blocks slightly bigger, so I suggest if you want to make it the exact same size and color as the pattern, then go ahead and purchase the pattern.

    I really love this quilt, it is one of my favorite quilts right now.
