Welcome to my blog, and please have a look around!
I have a newly finished quilt to share with you. It has been very rainy and wet in my neck of the woods for a long time now. Just in time for the quilt festival we are finally having a beautiful and sunny friday providing photo opportunities...
(my helpful quilt inspector, testing the quilt's softness?)
My hip to be square finished at 46" by 57". You may recognize Jolene's very popular design. Mine is hand quilted with black perle cotton on Quilters Dream Request Cotton batting and a very soft backing (Anna Maria Horners Little Folks voile in Saffron). Feeling bold, I chose a black binding for it.
You don't think there's anything strange in taping quilts to your house in plain view, do you?
Somehow that does feel a bit awkward... Well, I really wanted to share this with you all.
Thank you, Amy, for organizing this lovely event!
Wishing you a nice weekend, and hope there will be a chance for some happy stitching, along with the blog hopping, too...

Hi! This quilt became most beautiful! I love those grannies surrounded with white and your hand quilting is lovely! Did you enter your quilt to the 'Blogger's Quilt Festival'?
Your new blocks on your design wall are also so wonderful! x Teje
Yummy, I love it...your hand stitching is beautiful : )

Wonderful!! I love your black thread and binding with this. You have such an exciting way of combining colors!
Beautiful Marit! Love your handquilting!

Love it!!! Handquilting makes everything better!!!
Every time I see this pattern I want to make one too! And I really, really love the fabric you used on the back and the binding. Really great!
Looks fantastic and the handquilting makes it extra special :-)
The binding echoing the shape is such a great detail, and of course the perle thread stitches

Love your Granny Square Quilt! I entered one too!
So very pretty! I've said this before, but I really love the Granny Square pattern. Your colors are perfect, and the hand quilting is the cherry on the top!
Not at all odd to tape a quilt to your house! I was having a heck of a time trying to find a space to photograph a quilt today. I should have taped it!
It's beautiful, Marit!
So fabulous!!
What a wonderful quilt! I LOVE granny squares ! Nope not at all odd to hang your quilt on the side of your house! Lol
Marit, your Granny Square quilt is outstanding.
This is lovely. I like the hand quilting. I am finally sewing the binding on mine : )
That is such a beautiful quilt. The blocks are so pretty, and the colors work so well together. I love the orange block! : ) I also love that hand quilting. Excellent job!

One of my favourite Granny square quilts, and the hand quilting is so beautiful.
Beautiful quilt Marit! Such happy colours it makes me smile :)
Love the colors, the binding, the back, really just everything. And taping a quilt to your house is an awesome way to take a picture. Wish I had though of it (though I don't think it would work on my brick, but maybe I could borrow a neighbors house?)
Fantastisk Marit :)

Fabulous finish! Its a beautiful quilt.
Marit, this turned out beautifully! I love the hand stitching, such a wonderful touch!
This quilt is beautiful from the colorful squares offset by the white background, to the standout quilting to the final touch of the black binding. Beautiful
Stunning! I love the hand stitching and black binding.
You can pretend it is a barn quilt :) Very beautiful!
This is such a great choice, Marit! I love the way the colors are so cheerful and they pop up in the white background! Lovely stitching too~!!
So pretty! Love the colors and quilting. :)
This is really lovely Marit, and I like the way that you quilted it. As for taping quilts to your wall, I don't find that unusual at all :). It can be tough to get a good photo to share and this seems to be ideal.
Yay for Granny squares- they look great!
Love the hand stitching. It really sets the block off!
The grannies are lovely, but the quilting ROCKS them! Beautiful finish (and the binding is just right).
so love the hand quilting on this. someday I'm going to tackle that skill.
Beautiful! I'm working on a "Granny" too!
Marit, this is beautiful! Your hand quilting is perfect and I love the black binding.
