the CR quilt & freebies

Before the bottom fell out of my world, I did manage to finish the top my daughter's friend's asked me to make for her sister.  It is a CR quilt (Crown Royal).  I did not get it done on time but I did manage to struggle through and get it done so she could have it for Valentines Day.  Since I did not get it done as planned, I did not charge her.  I apologize for the unappealing photos.  It 's very hard to take pictures of a black quilt period, then in poor light and compounded by my inability to take a decent picture. So, here are some of the pictures I have.  It' s mad of solid black plus 3 black prints and the purple Crown Royal bags that I cut into pieces, lots of pieces!!!
(excuse the stuff my daughter had next to her bed.  I didn;t move it, was in a hurry)
Hopefully once the owner has it quilted she'll send me a picture!! 


There are 3 different blocks that make up the quilt.

Here's one more of it.  My daughter tried to take this one with the window shining through it, not good , but you can see more of pf the whole quilt.  Quilt, unbound, measures 118 in x 118 in.

Here's some more free stitch patterns for the baby quilt.





Enjoy these and hope everyone is happy, calm and stitching something today!!  I 'll pop in and see what you're up to one of these days.

  7. Cyndi, I am soooo glad that you posted the RC quilt for us to see. It turned out AWESOME - you did a fabulous job and I'm sure that your daughter's friend loved it. It's a shame that you ended up giving it to her for free because that was a hell of a lot of work, but I understand and probably would have done the same thing!

    Back at Christmas when Jeff and I were driving to Louisiana, a whole bunch of CR bags that were in the back of a truck that was in front of us on the Interstate blew out and landed on the road. If it weren't for the fact that 1. it was on the Interstate, and 2. it was raining like crazy, I would have made Jeff stop so I could get them for you. As we drove past them, I shook my head and said "I'm sorry, Cyndi!" I had a good laugh over that one!

    Take care, and I'll write soon!

    XOXO,

    Cyndi

  10. Good to see you back Cyndi. That CR turned out very nice. You sure did a lot of work on this one. I think you should get paid for it even if it was later than expected.
