This is Miss Emma's birthday quilt. The top is made from two years worth of swap blocks in my group Primary Patchworkers. The flower blocks were made in 2009. Each group member supplied a box of fabric which went from member to member once a month. Each person used the supplied fabrics to make a block in her chosen style. Mine is the pieced flower bottom left hand corner.
The nine patch blocks were made in the 2011 birthday blocks. I supplied pink, yellow and white fabric (leftovers from my flowers) and asked members to add some from their own stash to make nine patch blocks. I actually asked for nine inch block when I needed eight inch ones, so I trimmed them all resulting in a large square surrounded by smaller squares.
I quilted in the ditch along the diagonals and then - drum roll please - I did a free motion outline in each flower block.
The backing fabric is a very pretty pink gingham with white embroidered daises scattered around.
Miss Emma likes pink.
I'll finished with a gratuitous picture of a Singer treadle machine, my mother's day present.
I like sewing machines.
It's a lovely quilt. But I still like those for Master Jack and Miss Amelia best.
