The Aunts’ Quilt — Month 10

Can you believe it??? Month TEN! We’re almost done with our fun little quilt-a-long! This month’s assignment was to put the quilt top together and finish the last two corners. I kept up — even though I had a ton of stuff to do this month. Here’s my proof — the quilt top all together (please ignore the funny wrinkles — it’s on my temporary little quilt wall and it’s tough to get anything straight on it):

I noticed that Gina put her initials on her original quilt, so I decided to do the same on my quilt.

I also decided to add the year in the other corner.

And the cookie of the month? We haven’t had Chocolate Chip yet and it’s a classic. Plus, I’m still on vacation, and this is the perfect cookie to bake up and take on a Roadtrip!

Ok — back to the mountains — be home soon!

XOXO,
Anna

  1. Absolutely gorgeous and I love the addition of appliquéd year and initials right on the front…many vintage/antique quilts have the same and I think it’s awesome.

  5. That quilt looks so complicated and so pretty. I wouldn’t even know how to begin! At least I can make chocolate chip cookies! Enjoy the rest of your vacation.

  6. Been following along on Instagram! Glad you are having a ball. I love the lavender gingham in the doll quilt too Anna. This quilt is so awesome and I love the touch of your initials. I shall have to remember that the next time I undertake a huge applique quilt (like the 12th of never)

Gorgeous Anna, I better get going I am not in the sew along but truly you have inspired me, cannot wait to get moving on mine again, just looks fabulous and I am so gig to copy your initials idea and the date…congrats on the whole quilt, love it, must feel wonderful I will show you mine once I get going again. Fingers crossed, Lyn

  8. It looks fab Anna! I’m really jealous ;) but I will get there in the end. I still love the project, it’s just the other stuff which is going on in my life right now. But there’s a long winter coming soon where I’ll probably will have more than enough time. Enjoy the rest of your adventure in the mountains.

  9. Your quilt is absolutely beautiful. I hope you enter it into a quilt show. It is surely a winner.
