While on my break, some time was spent at our cottage far north of Toronto. No ..... this is not our cottage!!! :o) This is a wood shed (for storing wood and anything else that can be used in the future for repairs, etc.) that my Dad built over 45 yrs. ago and it is still standing; albeit with a slight lean to the right. Is this not the perfect place for a photo op or what? I brought along this project to work on and after sewing on a number of verticals rows, I wondered what my top would look like draped over the door to the shed.
A closer view of the blocks and don't you just love the scrappiness that is going on here? For the borders, perhaps a plain white border will be perfect and help to give the eye a place to rest.
Coming back to the title .... I still haven't come up with a name yet. While at our cottage, I should have taken a photo of our floor as part of this block is in the floor pattern. So, that being the case, this top will need to have the word cottage in it. Ymmm ... will have to do a bit of thinking on this.
Now, for those of you in the path of Hurricane Irene ..... stay safe! Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Beautiful!!

I LOVE your quilt. Awesome! I'm sure the perfect name will come to mind.
ReplyDeleteWell, isn't that quilt pretty! And I love the little shed, like many old sheds here it has such character. We were driving out in the country this morning and passed your shed's twin.
ReplyDeleteWhatever you call it, it looks great.
ReplyDeleteHello Rose Marie,
ReplyDeleteto me it just looks like cottage comfort. I bet it will become a nice snuggly quilt at the end.

What a great idea for a quilt photo, love the shed with character. The quilt looks divine. Let us know when you've hit on a name for it. I can't come up with anything.
ReplyDeleteI definitely vote for a light border. It was the whole "restful eyes" that got me!
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful...perfect place for a photo op!
ReplyDeleteNaming quits is a challenge in itself, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI love the photo shoot on the shed. The quilt and the shed are beautiful!
