Connie's Egg Money Quilt

This is the big one from a few days ago. She's made it home and Connie loves her.










This is a pic without the border. You can see some of the details a bit better.












Lots of pics from this one; hope you don't get bored. This is the fourth Egg Money quilt I've done and there's one more awaiting quilting. The biggest challenge with these is that these ladies all belong to the same guild. I don't want them to look like they have "cookie cutter" quilting, so thinking of new backgrounds and new ways to quilt the blocks is a must.







Those are pics of some of the blocks from the front. Below are pics of the back. It isn't as white as it appears in the first pic, nor is the blue as dark as it appears in the subsequent pics. The blue is much softer and really complements the quilt.


This pic is of the border. Shows up nicely in the background, but not so much on the front. Fabric was too busy. Lesson learned, busy fabric can have less ornate quilting, even if the border will eventually be scalloped!!


This is the corner quilting.



A block from the back.



Thanks for hanging in. Hope you enjoyed the "show"!!
