Our Quilt has a Name!

September 14, 2014July 29, 2020 Post a comment

What a great week! I have been traveling this past week- to Boston, Hingham, then onto to CT to Hamden, Guilford and Fairfield CT to spend time with family and friends. I even got a chance to do a little quilting. Boston and Hingham was for my nephew’s wedding last Friday.

DSCN2034And we got to spend a little time in Boston with our son and his girl exploring- this guy sure has the life, huh?

But mostly my husband and I helped our daughter and new son in law with their brand new house.

 

 

 

 

DSCN2083It is an adorable 1919 cape style munchkin house. So small that my DH cannot walk thru the doorways on the second floor! But just a great place and so exciting for them!

 

In the meantime though, we have a quilt to name.

 

 

 

Thank you everyone for your suggestions- this one really had us stumped. So what did we name it? Well, what I love about all your suggestions is that they sparked creativity and took us in a direction that we had not intended to go. So, after a little more brainstorming, the quilt’s name is:

Urban Twist

 

 

We love that the quilt looks like woven bands of fabric, twirling stars and the colors twist and turn.

 

And since we did not take anyone’s suggestion literally but used them all as inspiration, we decided to just draw a name to win a pattern.

And the winner is:

DSCN2081Nancy!

I will email you to get your snail mail address and when I have the pattern ready and on the website later this week, one will be in the mail.

 

Thanks again everyone. I am off to see the Jolly Beggars play (my son in law’s Irish band) at a car show and then on to the airport; it is time to go back to Colorado.

happy quilting,

Kate
