Shabby Chic

I finished my Virtual Quilting Bee quilt yesterday. I L-O-V-E it!
My Virtual Quilting Bee quilt
Who knew that 12 blocks made by 12 different people could go together in a quilt so well. It's so very "Shabby Chic" and girly.
I used a 2" sashing and a whole bunch of little identically fussy cut setting squares. That, I tell you, was quite a job.

I'm so proud of myself. I added a label!
I love how the binding turned out. It's Stripey from Sandi Henderson's Farmers Market.

I also photographed each block individually. You can see them in the VQB pool on Flickr.

    Very pretty! I have been watching as these quilting bee quilts have come together and it is very neat to see how they work so well even with so many different artists working on them.

    Hi Anina

    I agree with everyone else - the quilt looks lovely! Can I ask about the quilting? Have you stipple quilted and then washed it to get that lovely, almost hand quilted effect. I really think the quilting makes it! Also love the border fabric!
