I love the colors, that would brighten anybody's mood!
Beautiful color choice! The white sashing really sets it off.
What a lovely quilt! I like the lattice look with the white sashing!
So lovely. I saw one on a porch swing one time and every time I see this pattern again, I think of curling up on a couch and using it.
It is happy! I love it!
tell me more about your vintage Singer long arm. what was it designed to do originally? how did it come to live with you? how is it powered?
@ Brenda. You can read more about my experience with Mrs. Singer by clicking on the Label "Mrs.Singer" in the sidebar.
My 1896 Singer 31-15 is an industrial machine mounted on a quilting frame - voila, she became a quilting machine! We bought her off Craigslist in 2010, the year that my husband was unemployed, with the thought that I could earn some extra money with her. She had already been retrofitted to be a long-arm quilting machine before we purchased her and has many miles on her as a quilting machine.
She is electric and has a gizmo attached to the side that regulates how fast she stitches. It is not a stitch regulator like today's machines which speed up and slow down depending on how fast you move them; but it does regulate speed in the sense that when I press the stitch handle, she stitches at a consistent rate no matter how fast I move her.
I Love Her! She has opened wide the world of quilting to me because I cannot afford to have someone else quilt the large quilts I make.

Wow, I love this! The colors are so brilliant, and made more vibrant by the simple white sashing. Good job! :)
Gorgeous! I've never seen a quilt with this pattern before. Thanks for sharing at HAndmade Tuesdays!
Que bonito, que colorido, me gusta.
Beautiful quilt and very HAPPY! I'm off to read about your vintage Singer! I do all my sewing on a 15-91 Singer.
Just a wonderful quilt!!
A vast array of colors, very.. tranquil? Is the word that comes to mind. That is; after happy. Hahaha, god bless and good luck. Lovely quilt!
