Less is More

I added the final rows to Less is More aka Stopped Me in My Tracks.  Kaaren at The Painted Quilt also fell in love instantly with a picture of this quilt, so she drafted it and shared it on her blog.  Aren't quilters the most amazing/sharing people?  I'm so grateful to her because I ADORE this quilt in all its simplicity.

 

 

 

 

 

I plan to hand quilt this to add to it's antique charm.  In the picture posted by Kaaren, it looks like it was quilted with straight lines--more simple elegance.

No boredom using only two fabrics as I had imagined.  This went together quickly and easily because it was only two fabrics and I could strip piece.  I haven't done that in a long time.  Fun and fast!

Thanks again, Kaaren, for generously sharing your pattern.

Sunday Stitching

String spider web quilt is in the hoop.  I'm doing a big huge stitch using pearl cotton.  Its going really quickly and I'm enjoying the folksy look. 

 

 

 

This is a big quilt (queen size) and its heavy from all the piecing.  I'd better work fast, because once the weather gets warm it will be too hot on my lap.  I'm linking to kathysquilts@blogspot.com for Slow Sunday Stitching,  Have a great Sunday everyone!
