Oh my, I've finished a quilt. This is a rarity.
The quilt top has been hanging around since mid 2010. And it's not the only quilt that has stalled at the quilting stage.
But nearly two years later I'm still fond of it, so it was on the top of the To Do list of quilt finishes.
As I said in my earlier post about this quilt, it really has no place in our current house. It's too fresh and modern.
So this might be relegated to the linen cupboard with my other quilts that don't see the light of day.
Or maybe I could clear a shelf or two in the armoire in my studio. Now that I don't have a lot of Townmouse stock left, it might be better use of that storage space.
I'm so excited to have finished a quilt, I'm going to post it over on the Blogger's Quilt Festival at Amy's blog. Do head over and take a look at the many hundreds of quilts that are popping up there.
So Fresh and bright! This Modern Pattern is becoming a Classic!

The quilting is so appropriate for this linear design.

Beautiful quilt! And I don't think it matters that it doesn't coordinate with your home. This is too lovely not to look at everyday.

Well Done on finishing! It is lovely, and much too nice to have hidden away. Quilts in your armoire would look lovely.

I love the clean fresh look of your quilt and the simple straight line quilting. Can definitely relate to having quilts stall at the quilting stage. I'm always too anxious to start the next one.

That is a fabulous quilt! I'm really inspired by your quilt. Thanks for sharing it.

Beautiful!
I find that if you make enought things that don't 'fit' then in the end they end up fitting:) You would probably die if you saw my house, modern, vintage...very piecemeal.

Such beautiful colors. It really fits the name.
