My new Favourite Quilt



Because it's STILL snowy and it's STILL cold, I have a new quilt on our bed.  This is made from lovely soft brushed cottons and is really snuggly.  The block pattern is, I think, called BuzzSaw.  I originally planned this as a throw-sized quilt, but when I laid it out on our bed to check the measurements for the backing, I loved it so much that I added extra borders and hey-presto... a bed quilt.




This is the back.

  2. That's gorgeous, Sue - I bet it's lovely and warm too.

    Bilbo very kindly sent me a small brushed cotton quilt which was Ollie's for my cats - but I confess that they have to share it with me as it is so soft. Still scheming on a way to get her to make me a full size one, although I think that she will tell me to get on with taking up quilting myself... {grin}

  3. Hazel, ha ha, did you realise I always click on the "subscribe to comments" box!

    I was thinking earlier this week that I probably ought to get you another quilt so that the cats DIDN'T have to share it . . . hadn't realised I needed a Hazel-sized one {giggle}

  5. Gorgeous quilt, beautifully quilted, very well chosen block pattern ;o). I've been thinking about making myself a flannel quilt, maybe I'll do one for next winter ...

  9. That quilt is so cool (pun intended) and looks like snowflakes. I first thought I hadn't seen that pattern before but when you said the name, I think I remember it as a Thimbleberries pattern. Great job.

  13. It's cold here too. It's 30 right now which is really cold for 10am in Florida. The sun is not shining either!

    Stay warm and I love the quilt. The quilting design is perfect for it!

  16. Love the Buzz Saw pattern and your fabrics too. I made one but yours has an extra piece added to make that pinwheel in the middle. Love that.

  18. Oh, Sue! The quilt is gorgeous! We must have a lot of the same in taste for quilts, because every one of your "favorites" you show up here are absolutely to die for....

    Beautiful!

  19. That looks fantastic Sue! I do like those jagged edged blocks. I don't know why I've never done one. I have a couple of lots of jelly rolls so I might get out of my comfort zone and try!

  20. I really like this one and I think my mom has a quilt with a very similar flannel backing -- it's toasty!

    Are you enjoying the snow? I love it but we've got a lot of ice too and it makes walking somewhat hazardous. Keith and I are just waiting to see who falls first this season. Both of us had near misses tonight after dinner.
