My Blooming Meadow quilt is finished! Quilted it on Saturday and finished the binding last night. This is one of my first freehand free-motioned quilts…it’s a leaf and vine pattern on the rectangular blocks,
and a flower blossom on the hexagonal/log-cabiny blocks,
It’s hard to see the quilting (in bone colored thread) on these busy prints, but trust me, it’s pretty neat in person, if I do say so myself!
The backing is one of my favorite Sandi Henderson prints, Henna Garden in espresso brown and cream for her Meadowsweet line:

Wow, it looks beautiful! I like the block pattern you used. Good for you for doing such an elaborate free-motion. I bet it felt good to have some time to finish it up. Are you keeping this one for yourself?
Isn't free motion quilting fun? Hooray for tackling that project. It looks simply beautiful!!!!!
Oh, I'm so happy you tried the free-hand quilting. For what we can see, it looks great! Love the busy-ness of your blocks. Lots to soak in. Very pretty.
Hey – it's Jennie from the attempted “Eastern Iowa Modern Quilt Guild” — I'm totally clueless how to navigate over there, so wanted to thank you for your post, tell you your work is beautiful an confirm that I live in Eastern Iowa. I've done very little quilting but am gearing up to do more — I've been doing tons of sewing — http://www.whatmamasews.blogspot.com
It sure would be fun to get an Eastern Iowa Modern Quilt Guild going!
