Today I pulled out An Angel Story quilt. The book was published in 2004, and I think I started to sew it at that time. Then it has been “forgotten” for ten years. It is time to get it finished now because in May I have joined a class with Annie Downs. It had been fun to have this quilt finished by that time and bring it to show her. Just had to add the outher border.
Then I took it with me to the cantina at work to baste it. So lucky that I can use the big tables there. Makes it more easy to baste.
When I basted it I recognized a lot of OLD fabrics. Guess that I would have chosen different fabrics if I was going to sew it now. But I really love the look of this one too.
Back home I started to machine quilt it. Hope to do it little by little, in between some hand stitching. Because machine quilting is a little bit rough on my neck.
Rusken is helping me with this quilt. He is trying to steal the Pinmoors I have used to baste this quilt.
Saying for today:

I love the look of this quilt made with stronger colours, so different to the original.
Vilken underbar quilt du håller på med!!!Bambikram
I agree with Susan. The stronger colours look great.
I agree with Susan also, I love the stronger colours.

Your quilt looks great. love it done in different colours.
nearly there.
Your quilt is beautiful - good on you for pulling it out again! I love the saying at the end :-)
Well done for going back to it and working to get it finished. It's a wonderful looking quilt.

a real beauty, love your colour choice, think I will have to look out for the book, not sure the quilt will be made but maybe a couple of blocks I would like to have a go at, must try my hand at applique, mind you paper piecing lessons are top of the list but they could slip down and applique might take over
just been on a search and appears the book is very hard to come by, only found one copy and it was $65 so will keep my eyes open and hope I can find it elsewhere
Rusken always amuses me. Cats just have to be into everything. I guess you were spurred on to finish this quilt now that Hanne has completed hers and I am sure Anni will love both of them. I sure do. Hope you don't overdo the machine quilting and hurt your neck. Take care.
I like seeing how you basted it. I like that you taped it to the table. Great idea!
What a sweet quilt! And you will feel so great to have it finished after so many years.
Wow! It looks great!!! Love it!
