LAST QUILT OF THE SEASON! NINE PATCH!




This is finally finished! It's raining and there just isn't a place inside the cottage to set up a "photo shoot" as the sayin goes.




I just love this quilt looks and since Oh Cherry Oh! is one of my favorite fabric Jelly Rolls, it is fitting that this is the last quilt at the cottage this year.




I did the binding in white to really give it the oomph as putting any colour but white on the binding just didn't work for me.








Since we are probably leaving next Thursday or
Friday depending on the weather, I have almost
finished packing away all my sewing stuff in its
large bin and since I am taking the little suit-
case home, I put all the little patterns that Helen made up for me this summer.
I also have a flying geese tutorial from her to make this winter. It's similar to the Fons and Porter design, but my private teacher is so organized that her samples are so precise that I can't screw it up, hard as I could try which isn't much when I have to do the math. I am so looking forward to making this as my next endeavour in this quilting world.
So, with this being the Thanksgiving weekend and probably our last of the season, I am taking it off and going to do puzzles and eat turkey.
I make Orange Cranberry Sauce every year from the Cottage Life recipe file. It is absolutely yummy. If you want it go to Cottage Life .com and get it. Happy Thanksgiving !

I love this quilt. I love the white sashing. It really sets it off and makes the colors pop.
