Dear Jane Quilt Finished!

'Dear Jane' quilt made by Frances Meredith
Did I say I had finally finished my Dear Jane quilt?  There is nothing like a deadline to get things done and as a push I had entered my Dear Jane quilt into the 2018 Quilt UK Show at Malvern this weekend.  The good news is that it has won some prizes including, Best Piecing, Best Sampler Quilt and a first prize in the Bed Quilt category.

  3. Wow! Just WOW! I love your arrangement of the blocks by shape and color. It looks perfectly balanced. And I love the warm background fabric. The quilt looks so comforting. What fabric did you use for the background? Congratulations on the prizes. They are very well-deserved, Frances.
