Of course, I can't just sit and quilt.
I get distracted and I have to start new things.
I am sure that I am not alone.
I have been reading blogs with primitive type quilts and I am liking them so I ordered this book, Garden Quilts by Mary Tendall Etherington (Author), Connie Tesene (Author) so I could make the cover quilt.
It is adorable.
It have been a challenge for me since I do not own alot of primitive prints but so far this is what I have done.
I am using the reverse applique method I learned here..

It looks amazing! I really like that folksy style :)
I like primitive style quilts as well, but don't they don't fit into my decor. I do enjoy Pat Sloan's because of the bright colors she used.
Looks like you are on your way to doing something beautiful!
Very pretty. You accomplish a lot of quilting for someone who works. Good for you.
The start to your quilt looks wonderful! I look forward to watching your progress.
What a great start -- it's absolutely charming!
That is a really cool quilt and you are off to a great start, Betsy. I can't wait to see how you progress on it!
XOXO,

It is funny you posted this. I was just looking through one of my primitive books thinking "someday I'll make this". And someday I will, just not right now. So it is great to see you doing it. I can live through your projects.
Oh...I just love this style of quilting...you are doing a fantastic job!
Oh, I have that book and have used various designs from it but haven't done the whole quilt.
You're off to a great start!!!
Betsy, it is wonderful! I can't wait till we can start our Primitive Garden.
Happy New Year Betsy! I love the primitive.
I have made and taught classes with this quilt. It has been around with Connie and Mary for along time and was out of print. I guess it has been re released.
Good luck (we converted the stars to paper pieced and they were soo much easier)

Hey that is great if you don't own much primitive style fabrics--that is a very gooood excuse to go fabric shopping!!!!!
Looking great so far!!
hugs, di and miss gracie
I'm not a big primitive fan but I do love the cover quilt. Yours will be just as gorgeous.
I have this quilt started also. My guild did it as a BOM a few years ago. I am using brights instead of typical primitive colors.

You are off to a wonderful start! I've made that quilt and love it!!
