It's just... BINDING! I made it to match the pattern of my new quilt. It was a last minute idea and I surprised myself that I did not say: "NO, NO WAY!". I thought it worth the effort. The white strips measure 3/8''. The others are 2 1/2''. I used about 35 different colors of Kona cotton. I think the quilt has even more colors. Still a lot to do for this quilt! Until I hang … [Read more...]

If you think there is something strange with this quilt, you are right! Do you know what it is?? Geta … [Read more...]
My “Soy Amado”
The beginning of this week found me with a stack of four quilt tops waiting for quilting. One of the quilt took me three days (can't wait to show you, I still have to wash it) and the next one three hours! I just needed an "easy" quilt to quilt! I love to quilt but I am really tired of challenges! So this project came just in time! Alison of "Little Island Quilting" is making quilts for … [Read more...]

Planning something new
A few days ago I had a guest. My friend Luminita was anxious to show me the hexy flowers she already stitched. She was very busy... We are planning something special with the pink/purple flowers. … [Read more...]
The Star of a Quilt
Quilt = fabric + batting + thread. It's amazing what quilters can create with simple things like these. Let's add some colors (and a design too) and we couldn't define a quilt better. Many times all the elements of a quilt contribute to its success. And sometimes one element is more important than other. I am happy that I managed to make quilts in different techniques that show what … [Read more...]
Quilt Labels
I printed my own quilt labels on fabric. At Spoonflower. They measure 4'' x 4'' and 90 pieces fitted onto one yard of Kona cotton. Now I would have loved a less striking design(!) but if I think better, "color" is the word that perfectly describes what I do and who I am. I had a great experience with this print service.They even thanked me in Romanian! How cool is that ? More about what else … [Read more...]
My New Wholecloth Quilt
I finally finished the adventure of the wholecloth quilt. The quilt is big and I couldn't photograph it properly inside my home. Maybe in the future I will take some pictures outside. I found even a name for it: " My Rainbow Flower Garden"! Very proud of me - you know I always ask YOU to name my quilts! Here it is on the floor. It measures 75''. Since I made this mini quilt a few months … [Read more...]
Painted Binding
I thought that a plain white binding is not enough for my new quilt. So I "painted" it - with the thick Aurifil 12wt thread. So much fun! It took me some time and thread... ...and here is- enough for a 80'' square quilt. Now to see how the quilt turned out! UPDATE Finished quilt here. … [Read more...]
Blogger’s Quilt Festival
It's time for Blogger's Quilt Festival and I am still stitching on my new Aurifil Quilt. So I thought to enter one of my favorite quilts from last year in the Original Design category. The quilt measures 40'' and it was hand pieced using English paper piecing. The pattern is here. A few challenges, a few lessons to learn and the top was done. It was fun to quilt feathers (following … [Read more...]
