I have a top finished! Our retreat girls had a yearly challenge and since we were going to be all together at Sisters I did my "reveal" at that time.
Here's a little better photo

I was able to use Michelle Yeo's Bucklebury for the border.

The center toile was a fun surprise!
Okay, this quilt was the challenge! Exactly like it, or inspired, or.......
Here is my center! I love it! But it was a tad too big! Aargh! I went ahead and started getting the other blocks together until I realized I was going to have to pivot.
BTW, The 4.5" blocks were in my orphan drawer (Made by Linda!) So, I thought I would use them up instead of making more blocks.
I tried a few different centers and came across this cute toile while in Missouri a few short weeks ago.
I appliqued the center toile and then cut it square!
The border fabric is the fabric I have behind the toile. I wasn't feeling the love as a border though.
The quilt was assembled in a little different way. I had to keep a close eye on the directions.
It looks a whole lot different than Jo Morton's Peppermint Twist pattern but I'm happy with my version!
I wasn't even going to use pink- but now that I have, I'm calling mine Tickled Pink! I believe it measures about 44" square.
Have a great week!
Your little quilt is beautiful! What a great use of the toile center and I really love that border fabric!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this great quilt —I love how you made it your own!
ReplyDeleteI love it!!
ReplyDeleteI like your version of Jo's quilt, you made it your own!
ReplyDeleteIt may be Jo inspired, but this is most definitely a Lori quilt! I love it!
ReplyDeleteWhat animal is she holding in the toile? So interesting! Love how all the blocks came together and such a lovely border.
ReplyDeleteI put a close up in the facebook group and we are seeing a dog tail and pig nose. But I think it is a mythical creature!
DeleteYou are very creative!
ReplyDeleteWhy make more blocks when you already have some that are perfect for the job? I love that you used what you had, even for the medallion in the centre. I love it. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteWhat a precious quilt! Your version is so lovely. I'm rather fond of toile but rarely find a good way to incorporate it in quilts. You did a wonderful job!
ReplyDeleteIt's a delight. Seems awhile since we saw a beautiful little Lori quilt and this one is charming.
ReplyDeleteYour construction is interesting, not at all what I d have done, and your way gives you a great result..
I thought the creature is a spaniel of some sort?

Wonderful quilt, Lori! Love the toile center, pink setting blocks and border. So sweet!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great little quilt. Are you going to hand quilt it or machine quilt it?
ReplyDeleteNot sure yet, but maybe a bit of both!
DeleteSome journeys you just don't know the destination until you have arrived. I like where this journey took you! Great job working it all out.
ReplyDeleteIt's another pretty humble creation. I love when the Quilt talks to me. Happy Thursday
