There is something very satisfying about connecting the quilted sections. Again the green fabric did not photograph its true color.
The right side -
The middle section -
And the left side.
I removed the quilt from the frame, trimmed the edges then stitched the binding. Here he is on the floor, the color is better than the above photos.
A close up of the center. This isn't the right color either, this looks more apple green, like granny Smith apples.
He doesn't quit fit in with the other quilts but that's okay. This little quilt measures 43" X 55".
I'm tempted to put another small project in the frame to quilt this summer but I have a lot of applique to stitch.
As fast as the first five months of 2025 have passed by, soon it will be autumn and time to put the relief sale flimsy into the frame for quilting. Then you'll be getting weekly hand quilting updates for a long long time!

It's beautiful, Gretchen! it does look much better showing off the red stripes. What a fun, happy little quilt. Can't believe we are into June.
Such a pretty quilt, and the quilting makes him shine! I love all the shades of green the camera shows. ;)
beautiful
Beautifully done! Congratulations on a lovely finish.
Congratulations on a beautiful finish! I too can't believe so much of the year has passed!
We are flying thru the year! Great work on the quilt, I like the green! Happy Stitching!
Gorgeous work on green quilt. Some colors are just real stinkers to photograph!!
Your quilting is so exquisite Gretchen, and the little quilt looks so happy on the ladder with its friends. You must love seeing them all together. I have a quilt ladder too and enjoy rotating my quilts.
I love Amish style quilts. Your handquilting is exquisite, with some of my favorite motifs. Isn’t it interesting how cameras have a hard time picking up some colors? Whatever the true color is, I like all of your versions here.
Fabulous quilting to make the simple quilt exquisite.
Your quilting on the little baby quilt is wonderful. You may think it looks boring but it really is quite spectacular!
You always make the very best choices in fabrics/colours, Gretchen. This looks so beautiful, absolutely definitely not boring and what a wonderful display too. Always admiring your work....
Just gorgeous! Although I like it with the striking wreath stitching showing, I get what the pop of red brings to the display. Can't wait to see what's in your frame next!!
Stunning! Just beautiful, congratulations on your gorgeous finish. xx
He is just lovely. Your hand-quilting is beautiful and the design you chose is perfect. Congratulations on the finish. Thank you for taking all of us through the process and for joining Sew & Tell.
The choice of green for this quilt is fetching. The look and feel of hand quilting is why I like it so much. I will have to read through your blog to see now it was marked. Beautiful stitching. I am also interested in the thread and batting used. Thank you for the close up images.
Oh, your quilt is a beauty, for sure it's a great success. I enjoyed every step, and love to see it hanging in your quilt ladder! Thank you so much for sharing the making of and linking up this gorgeous finish.
What wonderful texture your quilting gives to this quilt! It's so interesting how some colour are so difficult to photograph!
It's gorgeous, Gretchen! Your quilting is wonderful. Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings!
