I have made a few quilts this year so far but I am going to blog one that I made late last year for a lovely and very talented quilter in a swap. I was terrified when I found out my swap partner as she is AMAZING at both piecing and quilting but I settled on an idea, a theme, some fabric and went for it.
I used the basic pattern from Ricky Timms Convergance quilts book and it was so much fun.
My Theme was snow as every year Emma and her famliy take trips to the Snowy Mountains and I love to look at the photo's. I machine embroidered some snowflakes and did a Free Motion swirly all over quilting.
On the back was a butterfly fabric that I used in honour of her son who loves having his face painted with butterflies.

I love the way you added to the borders to extend the quilt. Lovely!
Davvero particolare!

The design drew me to this quilt; it' s quite compelling.
this quilt is unexpected and I love that about it.
Fun, and I love the snowflakes. My first quilt was a Ricky Tims convergence quilt, so this really brings back memories.
This quilt looks wonderful. The fabrics work so well and I love the snowflakes you embroidered on it. It must have been hard giving it away!
Very lovely quilt and I love the colors - they play nicely together. Judy c
