i love you more …

My February 12x12x12 challenge is done (minus the binding as usual). I hope I can finish it off before my guild meeting next Friday, when we’re all supposed to bring Valentine and/or red quilts. I really like the backing fabric on this quilt (and the fabrics on the front as well). The lettering is done in black beads and the white dots have pearly white beads on them, which you can’t really see unless you’re up really close. I think the lively tossed hearts pattern helped me make the lettering more carefree. Marking the letters wasn’t working so I beaded them freehand. I love the texture the echo quilting makes. Even though it was hand quilted, it still drew in the fabric quite a bit. I think it shrank an inch in each direction. I barely had enough left to make the 12 inches square.

I’m really glad this one is done. There are a lot of designs I want to sketch before I forget them all. See more 12x12x12 challenge quilts at the Quilt Studio blog.

  1. What a cute theme, and beautifully executed. The black and white checkered mug is great and the beaded text is a fantastic idea. For me it would be chocolate because I don’t drink coffee, my choice is hot or iced tea.

  2. Wow – this is just so beautiful. I love the fabric, the workmanship, the sentiment, the black border – everything. I just love it.
