My Meadow quilt from Amitie is finally finished.
The pattern is designed by Michelle McKillop. And I bought the fabrics in a kit from Amitie.
As you can see, the centre is split into quarters for different colour ways. The internal borders and the flowers reflect the same colour ways.
Dark to light blue.
Orange and lemon.
Greens – light through dark.
And reds and pinks.
The HSTs were all paired with a black and white spot, but the outside flower blocks shared a variety of backgrounds.
The centre of the top was quilted in straight lines in a V pattern. I think the photos shows what I mean for that.
The narrow inner border was done with a serpentine stitch. And then each flower block had echo quilting.
There are too many flowers to show, but here are each of the corners.
Each of the corner blocks had extra echo quilting.
I used the same black and white spot for the backing and then a black and white stripe for the binding.
I think I put this one aside over 12 months back when I was helping my mother to move. So much has happened since then and I am pleased to have rediscovered this project and enjoyed bringing it to completion. Another one off the UFO list!!
Cheers, Karen

Great job on getting a UFO off the list. And such a pretty one at that. I remembered the polka dot fabric, which I love, and thought about how it is funny that I didn’t understand how the quilt would go together. But here we are and it make complete sense.
Your applique is gorgeous, as usual. You have a special knack for needlework.
