MawMaw's Quilt

Here is the latest and greatest update on MawMaw's Quilt.....I really do like this pattern! LOL

First the close up of the section I just finished - I think I like this the best...it's solid stitching but I love all the different colors and the patchwork look.


And now a picture of the whole thing.....I think I'm almost 1/2 done. I figure that there are five "whole" diamonds, 4 "half" diamonds, and 4 "quarter" diamonds....for a total of 8 diamonds. I've done two "whole" diamonds, 3 "half" diamonds, and 2 "quarter" diamonds. So....I figure I've stitched 4 diamonds (this used to say 8 - I guess I'm not very good at fractions!). Of course, that logic falls apart a little bit because I still have more border to do. but it's pretty close! LOL

I did make a couple of minor adjustments from what the pattern said because I thought there were two "oopses". I tried to contact the designer, but they didn't respond. So....I did it the way that looked right to me.....if I was wrong, no one will ever know!

Thanks for checking out my blog!!

Kathy,
MawMaw's Quilt is beautiful. Now I can see why you were drawn to "Shoo-Fly". What kind of stitches is MawMaw's Quilt? I am just curious if it is various of stitches (or is it xstitch or needlepoint?). It is lovely!
