Pennies From Heaven

My note says this pattern is by Gretchen Gibbons, 2010. Where I got it....i have no idea. haha  I finished piecing it this year....January. So, actually, it got quilted pretty quickly.  Perhaps because it is rather small....46x58"

It was hand appliqued in wool...which i love to do. The binding is the same fabric as the background in the center block.

The curvy edges got fused down first, then stitched down.

That little green in the middle of this flower has sparklies on it....and then it was all over everything. when i used that green again, i turned it over. haha

There were a few pieced blocks.

The green background in the applique blocks is the same as the backing.

Why is it the pictures always make you doubt yourself? in the pics, it looks like i should have quilted the background, too. on the quilt, it looks ok. i WAS thinking of pebbling the background and then decided it was too much. haha   perhaps i should have.

I really like how the quilting shows on the back.

Threads used were Glide Celery, Sand, Jade and Cobalt for the top and Bottom Line Statue for the bobbin.

I'm keeping this one.
