The centre was done before bedtime last night, and the borders attached tonight. I just love how it turned out! I have used the same fabrics as Rose on the borders and half of the squares in the blocks – Cotton Blossom by Moda – but I only had one charm pack, so I added a pack of Dandelion Girl. The over-all impression of my version is a bit lighter and slightly more yellow and softer than Rose’s, but I’m very happy with it!
The quilting will have to wait a bit – I’m all out of batting at the moment, but more is on the way. I do have a plan for how I want to quilt it, though :o)
The pattern is written so clearly so you really can’t go wrong, and would be wonderful for a beginner quilter, but it is great even for those more experienced – a quick quilt that will be perfect for a present, no matter what fabrics you pick. Have a look at Pauline’s funky version – cool, hum? :o)

Å, dette var virkelig flott. Da ser jeg jo hva jeg kan bruke mine charms pack til. Ha ei riktig fin uke. :-)
Frog stitching, what's that? Hmmm, now I got a bit curious, what are you up to this time?
Your quilt ala Rose is wonderful, what a good idea for charm fabric! Where is the best shop for buying Rose's patterns?
This afternoon/evening I have spent with two very difficult DJ blocks, and I'm asking myself why I'm doing this....hehe.
That's a nice quilt for a quickie, I love the daisies, they make it.
That's a cute quilt and I love the fabrics.
It's wonderful -- so fresh and cheerful. The daisies are the crowning touch!

Å så fint teppet ble. Kanskje dette er en ide til de TSV vi skal sy i helga.
Where do you find all the time to do this ?
The flowers on this top make it so beautiful !
Oh, Your newest is so fresh and I fell in love with IT!!! Those two fabric lines seems to fit perfect together!
Very cute!
Very pretty indeed. I especially like the border fabric you chose - simply perfect.
I am ready for a picnic. I can bring the chicken salad and sliced tomatoes.
You have been busy. I love the flowers they are so white and "clean".
Hi Anne Ida,
each time you keep on suprising me. Lately with the quilting on the read and white sampler and now with this quilt. I just love them!

Sooo beautiful! :)
Just wanted to say, I took my SBS book and blocks with me to one of my quilt guilds last night and showed off your quilt...everyone ADORED it! :) I think I might have inspired a few ladies to make their own! Lol*
Prikken over i`en var jo prestekragene da! Virkelig flotte farger.
Lovely, Anne Ida. I agree with you ... Rose is a great pattern writer. I always enjoy making her designs.
