First, let me apologize for photo quality. I dropped my DSLR the other day and jammed the lens. So until I can get it fixed, I’m stuck using my cell phone for all my photos. It’s an iphone, so they aren’t horrible – they just aren’t up to my usual standard.
Now… onto business…
Garden Trellis is complete! Thanks to said cell phone, you can’t see that I quilted in individual flower in each one of those white blocks
Here’s a better shot. It was my first attempt using stencils and it didn’t go too badly. I do need to get better at centering the stencil, but for a first attempt, I’m happy.
The finished quilt is 50″ x 66″. A nice-sized lap quilt, and made almost entirely of scraps. (I did have to buy some white fabric, though that doesn’t really count). Building all those nine patches was a great leader/ender project, and it’s a pattern I’ll definitely do again. There’s just so many ways you can change it up!
And my favourite part…. that backing! A super amazing clearance bin find. The binding was leftover from the back of my bear paw quilt. I’ve almost used all of it, but not quite!

The Wellies fabric makes a PERFECT backing and I think your flowers look fabulous.

I love that center motif!!! You did an amazing job. Even with the stencils I find machine quilting so hard.

Again, I say…you have a great eye for layout! You’ve distributed the colors wonderfully, and the quilting flowers are delightful.

Such a beautiful quilt! The flower you quilted in the white blocks looks absolutely perfect in composition. Your stitches are all uniform, too. It is just wonderful. I would be thrilled if I could machine quilt with that kind of precision. Love, love, love the backing.

Oh, yes – nine patches are the best! So many wonderful things you can do with them!
(My camera just went wonky on me, too. Must be something going around?)
