I am interrupting my Trip Post to share what I have just finished!
I love simple. I love elegant. I love Blue.
I love the name Shoo-Fly!
I love, Love, LOVE this Shoo-Fly Quilt.
It speaks to my simple heart.
I love old fashioned!
I love old fashioned!
And. I. Am. Finished. With the top anyway.
The history of this quilt pattern is interesting and you can read about it here.
Now I go visit my favorite Long arm quilter, The Happy Quilter, and pick out a Quilting Design for my quilt. She is an artist with her knowledge of how each design will look on each quilt. She can help you decide if it will look better with the quilt design closer together or a littler farther apart. And her execution of the machine stitching is wonderful.
Here I am showing you the backing fabric. It is reallly nice. Not a "quilting" fabric at all. It is a soft and silky pima broadcloth.
This Quilt was made with the help of my Granddaughter, Victoria.
I love all things Fabric.
I stitched this quilt on my Mothers old Singer Featherweight Sewing Machine.
It sews like a dream!

love blue and white too!!! quilt is beautiful!!!
Beautiful quilt! I just love the blue/cream combo (it looks like cream to me in the photos). You are so right to take it to a long arm quilter. I am so over quilting myself.
Thankyou. This fabric is a soft cream, not white.
I have never had a desire to machine quilt. I absolutely love to hand quilt but I am so slow. A good long arm quilter is an artist with her machine.
