I am a member of a Modern Quilt Guild. I joined in a doll quilt swap. We were assigned partners which was a secret. I knew who I was making for but did not know who was making one for me. My partner, Kim, likes turquoise, green, orange, and birds. So this is my little creation. I didn't take the measurements but it approximately 12"x 16". Of course I had to do some applique. The bird and flower design both came out of the volume 4 of the Quiltmakers 100 blocks magazine. I used a technique for the background from a quilt that was in the June 2012 issue of American Patchwork and Quilting magazine. I also did some big stitch hand quilting. You will notice that there is not any binding. That is because I tried something new. It is called
knife edge binding. Kim seemed very pleased when she opened her package with this little quilt in it.
Ania is the person who made my quilt. The only request I had was that there be some green fabric and it be a 12" square. I wanted my little quilt to hang on my table topper hanger. It fits and look beautiful. Thanks so much Ania.
With Passion,
Carrie P.

Both are beautiful! I was blown away by the talent in our group! I really need to practice my machine quilting!
Love both of these! Maybe you could give us a quick demo on the knife-edge sometime!
Well it turned out really cute. Especially I like the flowers. The quilting makes them pop.
Both quilts are simply adorable! Such beautiful applique! Love them!
The little quilt has a fresh and modern look which would probably be the goal since it is for a member of the "Modern Quilt Guild". Cute piece. And you tried some different techniques.

They are both beautiful! I've never heard of knife edge binding, so I'm going to click on your link. :)
What sweet little quilts!
Well done to both quilters!
What a sweet little quilt! One of the cutest I've seen for the standing hangers...
Both very pretty and special. Is it coincidence, that both birds are orange and use similar colors?
That is a beautiful table quilt...I want one too.
