Isn’t pinterest the absolute BEST? I am a new quilter. I have only been at it and well sewing in general for almost 2 years. I am disabled from Lupus and was going crazy with boredom. Decided to make window treatments for my home. When trying to decide what to make I chose to make roman shades that were pieced to look like stained glass windows. While researching how to do it, I started reading/watching piecing tutorials. Went straight into quilting. For a person with absolutely no desire to sew ANYTHING, you can imagine my shock to find quilting to be my absolute favorite thing in the world to do. So much so that I have even purchased a small arm machine and frame to quilt them!

Right now I am working on my studio/office. Trying to make it a place that inspires me and where I can locate things more easily.

I have gravitated toward the modern quilting style. That is why I really really love your quilt. I would LOVE to know how to make it. If you would email me the dimensions of the blocks and yardage I can figure it out from there and make something similar anyway. I would gladly send you the money to cover the price of a pattern. I have been trying to find the perfect pattern to use for my grandson’s quilt and that one is perfect. If not his, I need to make one for my granddaughter as well. The funny thing is I already have most of the fabric I need. I have just had such a hard time finding just the right pattern.

You did a fantastic job on it Erin. (feels so odd saying that to anyone since it is my name too!). I will be following your blog now. Feel free to follow mine too! I have neglected it badly lately. I am now trying to work full time and finding the time and energy is pretty difficult at times. Not to mention the need to get a good camera! My cell phone pictures are just not cutting it! That is my next goal.

Take care Erin, I look forward to reading more and hope you can send me the info.

Sincerely,
Erin

And yes, this is a stunner – Eleanor is a lucky little lady! I totally think you should play around with making this into a pattern, there is no doubt people will want to emulate your creation! And as for color choice, I think you had the right idea here, stick with one family and stay subtle. Beautiful, beautiful.
