Just for the fun of it I decided to wash my latest quilt and take before and after pictures of the quilt to see how it looks without being able to actually touch it.
This quilt I am calling Country Garden. It is from Quick and Easy Romantic Quilts by Sandy Berry. This is a terrific book with a lot of fun quilts to make in it. I've made two of them as shop samples, and the patterns were great! I used warm and natural batting in this one, and backed it with a nice brown cotton. None of the fabrics were pre-washed. I used aurefil thread (another recommendation, love it!) I quilted it with my hearts and loops. Looks really good I think!
