This is my first story quilt depicting my garden from my favorite spot on the porch. As i sat one day taking pictures from my chair I noticed my feet were in the lower part because they were propped up on a footstool. So began the plan of my view from my favorite spot to sit outside.

There are more than 4,000 – 3/4″ hexagon pieces. Hand-pieced and hand quilted. I’ve hand appliqued the hexagon centerpiece to the borders. It was my first big quilt which I’ve started in early 2010 and the whole process took me 13 months to complete.

The first quilt I designed as a pattern, it is made up of Kaffe Fassett fabrics – the majority of which are big, stunning florals. It is bright and colourful and looks like a floral rainbow – hence its name.

For retiring co-worker. Original layout, block adapted from internet image. Partly from stash. Paper-pieced flower blocks, with hand-drawn interior detail lines in the paper-piecing sections. As a result there are variations in the stems and petals, creating unique flowers, which I really like.

Last Summer I began sewing hexies without knowing exactly what I was going to do. Then I found, from a friend blogger tip, a wonderful pattern al Quiltmania Magazine. It was called Aunt Sarah Quilt. I made some alterations on the original pattern and it turned to be my Sweet Summer Cottage Quilt.
