Why did I make this quilt? For thirty years or so, we lived in a little house and had a full sized bed--couldn't fit a bigger one than that into our bedroom--and that was the "master bedroom." When we moved in 2004, one of the first things we did was to buy a queen-sized mattress. So I needed a queen sized quilt! And this was the one I made. Those three patchwork and appliqued love hearts were on my husband's side of the bed--I put them there on purpose. I also appliqued a pair of lovebirds on the quilt, not visible in the photo.

Very cute! I love the dragonfly.
Beautiful quilt.
I like the dragonfly, too.
Because there were two comments, I should have mentioned that the dragon fly is from a book: Applique Delights by Becky Goldsmith and Linda Jenkins
Very pretty! I like the way you mixed the applique' blocks with the pieced blocks.
I too love the dragonfly. This is like we care who wins or what ever. It's just a chance for all of us to get together and see and share our quilting experiences. I for one know I wouldn't win in a million years, but I'm here and loving the experience.
I love your quilt. It's simple, it's a labour of love, I can tell.
I love that you added all the applique details...it makes it even more fun!
You should go in contests a whole lot more. Lovely quilt.
Cute quilt! Love the story!
Isn't this fun?
sometimes necessity leads us to create wonderful pieces of art, filled with meaningful images. Seems this quilt is one of them. :-) Its lovely and looks very inviting
Oh, my applique and patchwork...hmmm, maybe someday! Love it! Thanks for stopping by my blog.
What a great quilt to have. Memories are some of the best things to put in a quilt in my opinion.
Very cool quilt. And I love your teapot!
how sweet
That's beautiful. I have a scrap double wedding ring going. It's all pieced, but I've lost my enthusiasm for quilting it. And as the weather gets warmer I'm less likely to sit there with it on my lap to sew. Maybe in the fall?
A thing I love in a quilt is its history I also love to put something important for me a fabric a block in it to be exclusive.
I like your quilt!
I really like your quilt. Scrappy quilts are my favorite. I especially like how you scattered those personal touches throughout.
I planning to return later and look back at some of your other work.
Very sweet! Thanks for sharing :)
I loved hearing about this quilt! It's great!
Oh, how I love the scrappiness of this one!! and the special patches make it even better!
Scrappy quilts are my absolute favorite snuggle quilts and yours looks just like the kind I'd like to read a book under. Fantastic!
