The part of quiltmaking I enjoy the most is choosing the colors and designing the pattern. This is just a simple pinwheel. When a quilt is all pieced, and I've finished quilting it and putting the binding on, I feel a great sense of accomplishment. My creation is complete.Here is a view of the whole quilt. It is just a very simple quilt.
Love is a quilt - a quilt is love . . .Both love and a quilt should be:soft enough to comfort you,bright enough to cheer you,generous enough to enfold you,light enough to let you move freely,strong enough to withstand adversity,durable enough to last a lifetime,and given gladly, from the heart.

I've made quite a few quilts for others lately so this quilt I'm keeping for myself.
Rhondi xo
Rhondi, that is beautiful. Is it all hand quilted? Such restful colours.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt, Rhondi. I so admire your talent. You should definitely keep this one for yourself! Hope you are doing well and having a great week!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful quilt and done in my favorite colors too!! You are very talented.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day,
Kim
Rhondi, What a lovey quilt! I envy your talent. Have a wonderful day!!
ReplyDeleteRondi, it's lovely!!! I so wish I knew how to quilt.
ReplyDeleteYou did an amazing job lady! Give yourself a big pat on the back.
Claire
I love the colors you chose! Nothing warms a room up more than a pretty quilt. Your a talented lady!
ReplyDeleteI love your quilt. I love homemade quilts...they bring such happy memories.
ReplyDeleteYou asked about my background...it is one of LeeLou's designs. Her link is on my side bar.
Glad you liked it.

Simple patterns are sometimes the best. Your colors are perfect as usual, and the quilting looks great. I need to slow down my life somehow so I can quilt more. I want to be in too many places at once. You inspire me to pick mine up, maybe tonight!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're keeping this.
You are such an artisan.... you really have a gift .... the stitching is just perfect and those are my favorite colors...

Rhondi, Your quilt is gorgeous. I love the blues. That goes so good with your blue room and your spot on the porch.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Bonnie
That is a beautiful quilt and I love blue. Glad you are keeping this one for just you. Great job.
ReplyDeleteNancy
Rhondi, it's so pretty! I love the colors. Perhaps I'll finish -- one day -- the quilt I have been working on for 20 years now!
ReplyDeleteLynn
gorgeous quilt Rhondi
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, you should keep that one for yourself! It is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI really like the poem too.
Katherine
This is beautiful! I love the colors, and I like those little swirls on the border and between the squares. You really did a wonderful job on this!
ReplyDeleteKady
Hi Rhondi, I am so happy to have stopped by tonight. Your quilt is lovely. I love blue and yellow together. I also love your red chairs in the garden. I hope to spend lots of time here in your pages - it's relaxing - and I do feel the Lord here.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Patti
Oh Rhondi, that quilt is so beautiful! I love it! I have not made a quilt in years now. I wish I had more time!
ReplyDeleteRhondi, I love this quilt! Did you do the quilting yourself on it? The colors are just perfect-bright and cheery but soothing at the same time. KUDOS!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is so beautiful! I love it! Great colors and patterns, it's a happy, cozy quilt!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
Kim
Beautiful!!!! I love blue and yellow together!
ReplyDeleteQuilting is on my 'learn to do list'. I'm hoping to take a class soon. (waiting on the lady from the new quilt shop here in town to call me back with dates/times)
Simply gorgeous, Rhondi! You're good to keep this beauty just for you...we all deserve our own handmade treast on occasion as well. :o) Love the classic color pairings and pattern...lovely for cooler days ahead! Happy Day ((HUGS))
ReplyDeleteI am not a quilter, but I love them! I am very fond of the colors you selected for that lap quilt--that sweet tea pot makes the perfect picture--all cozy under that quilt, with a good book and a pot of tea. Just not in this dreadful HEAT! :-)
ReplyDeleteRhondi, you definitely should keep it for yourself. It is just perfect for you.
ReplyDeleteI am so amazed by the beautiful quilts you make. I have zero skills with needles, but I have a great appreciation for those like you that are so skilled. You create truly beautiful art that can be appreciated by others.
Hi Rhondi, OMGoodness! Another gorgeous quilt!!!! You are so talented & have an amazing sense when it comes to color & design!!!...If you have time...come visit today or tomorrow! I am celebrating my 100th post & am having a "giveaway!...Enjoy your day!...Heidi XO
ReplyDeleteHi Rhondi,
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is really lovely- the colors are soothing and you did such intricate quilting.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful work.
Regards
Anna
It's beautiful Rhondi!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors!
Rosemary
Ahhhhh - my favorite blue and white. You'll feel so snuggly when you use that beautiful quilt in the cold months. I've been busy with guests for the past while and haven't been able to pop by. It as lovely to read back on your recent post and to catch up. Your red dining room looks to be similar to my pomegranate red kitchen.
ReplyDeleteRhondi - I am so impressed with the beautiful quilt you made. The colors are gorgeous and the size is perfect! I've never attempted a quilt. It seems like such a huge undertaking. I bet it's very relaxing to do. Beautiful, beautiful job!!
ReplyDeleteI will be participating in Thankful Thursday tomorrow. I thought I was too late last Thursday, so sorry for messing that up.
It may be a simple quilt but it is so beautiful! It doesn;t look simple to me. I sew and I know a lot of work went into it:>)
ReplyDeleteRhondi,
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous quilt! I bet you are so proud.. please stop by, I have something for you!
Michelle
Rhondi,
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely quilt you made. What a talent you have.
Love & Prayers,
Ronda
There is nothing simple about a quilt as it is stitched with love. This pinwheel quilt is just a beauty and I can picture you already curled up reading with it warming you in the winter months. Do you always machine quilt your quilts? Love the spirals. Great job!
ReplyDeleteHugs ~

Oh, Rhondi...you are so good at what you do, girl. This one is just lovely. I like the pinwheel design and blue and yellow is a favorite color combo. Do you quilt them by hand or use a machine? The few (and VERY simple, I might add) quilts I've made, I quilted on my mother's old Singer...boy, what a job. Made me hurt all over. Too much quilt for that small machine, I think. I have NO idea how to do it by hand, tho.....

ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt, Rhondi! I love the colors.
ReplyDeleteI've made several yellow and blue quilts. I love them. They are so classic and peaceful. I've made a red and white one though, almost like this one. Nice job. I love teapots too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful quilt!
ReplyDelete(When, o when do I have the time ... :)

Quilts remind me of my grandmother. Al her quilts were made from the remains of dressmaking. When we spent the night, we slept under a ton of quilts. The heat came from the fireplace and the bedrooms were not heated. Thanks for the memories.
ReplyDeleteI am loving this blue and yellow together. Beautiful quilt...photos looks fantastic with that teapot.
