I love Kathleen Tracy's blog - A Sentimental Quilter - and was inspired by a quilt that I saw on her blog. Using some scraps, three fat quarters and EQ7 I made this little quilt top -
It is about 19" x 25½". The colours are much better in person. The fabric is by Howard Marcus - mainly Alliance, but the border is another line. Another quilt top to be quilted in the fall.Next week my family and I are leaving for a trip to Italy, for 2½ weeks. We are staying the first few days in Rome and then a week at a villa in Tuscany. The last few days are still undecided (we are not normally planners). If anyone has any "must-sees" they would like to share, that would be wonderful!
My DH and I back-packed around Europe, twenty years ago (when we were kids!), and never did I imagine that we would be going back with our two boys, but things just fell into place. I am still pinching myself!
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!! ♥

The quilt is lovely, but your trip sounds awesome! How wonderful for you. Hope you have a wonderful time and take lots of pictures to share.
Cute quilt. I'm still jealous about your trip. Have fun and go see everything!
Love your quilt! I'm using Alliance on a little project right now; just love the fabrics.
Hope you have wonderful trip!I'm sure it will be amazing.
I love the name of the quilt shop...bet it was "kick ass" too. I also like your miniature...it always surprises me when I "try" something new and end up loving it...I guess that is what makes quilting so much fun.
Cute little quilt and I love the paisley!!
I'm excited for you and your family going to Italy. Take tons of pics and have tons of fun.
We will all miss you.
Blessings,
jilly
