Do you think I'm fickle or what?
Just a month ago or so I ranted about how much I loved my Authentic Merry-Go-Round quilt.
Is it okay to do that again so soon?
Well, I'm going to!!! I just love, love, love this quilt top:
The pattern is "Bricks and Stones" by Red Pepper Quilts but of course I didn't follow the pattern completely. I made it symmetrical, unlike the pattern. The fabric is all Hope Valley by Denyse Schmidt and Moda Basics White.
It's been raining and dreary here all day, so these are the best photos I can get for now.
When I worked on this at the retreat, everyone advised me to follow the pattern. But I wanted a quilt, not a wall hanging; I had plenty of fabric; and this was the plan in my head from the beginning.
Now it needs backing and quilting.
++++++++++++
And if you made it this far, here is a more recent photo of Audrey:
She's got cheeks! I'll be seeing her Sunday!!

Audrey is just PRECIOUS...enjoying her snooze there in her pretty outfit!!! I do like your quilt, too. I very often vary my quilts from what the directions tell me to do.
Mary! The Bricks and Stones Quilt is WONDERFUL! I actually love that you have followed your own wishes and have therefore made it your own. It is beautifully stitched. The Hope Valley fabrics looks so great in this design. LOVE it!
Oh and sweet Audrey - she's got lovely cheeks. Happy Mother's Day on Sunday!

What they said. Quilt is very nice, but Audrey is the bee's knees! How adorable.
Love, love, love it, and Audrey is turning into a real cutie pie.
The quilt is really cute! The more quilts I see done in that fabric the more I want some for myself. The quilt is cute but not nearly as cute as Audrey!
Beautiful. Inspiring. I now want to make one!

You have done a wonderful job with the Bricks and Stones Quilt.
Oh...little Audrey is just so adorable! I love your quilt. It' really wonderful...all the right colors in all the right places and the white just sets it all off perfectly. It's a definite keeper! It will be fun to see it after it's been quilted. Do you have any ideas how you're going to guilt it?
Your quilt is so cheerful and the workmanship is wonderful. Of course, your little Audrey is beautiful!
Awe she is so sweet! Love your quilt as well.

Mary congraulations on making such a lovely and vibrant quilt. I am so glad you will be seeing Audrey tomorrow. Have fun,fun, fun and take lots of pics.
I was so happy to see this done! I've wanted to do the bricks and stones pattern for a while, but also wanted it to be symmetrical. Yours looks great and I will definitely have to try it now!
Happy Mother's Day! The quilt top is just gorgeous and little Miss Audrey.... too die for!
