I Made It

This quilt contest is over.


My quilt is one of the finalists for the Riley Blake design contest.
I am so excited that I made the cut.
Now the real work begins.

I need your vote!

Here is the link
http://www.rileyblakedesigns.com/cutting-corners/contest/


Just for fun I thought that you might want to hear the stats on this little beauty.

It measures roughly 90" square
It has 525 circles
64 petals
Each circle has about 25 basting stitches and
30 applique stitches
Each petal has about 63 stitches
So in total, without counting the binding that is a grand total of...


32,907 stitches.
No wonder my fingers hurt.


We went to a local quilt show, and since Riley Blake is a local company they had the bike on display.
Isn't it just about the cutest thing, Baby Sister isn't so bad either.
I would really like to win,
and pedal this beauty around town,
so could you please vote for me.

I mean if you go over and you think that mine is not so great, I suppose you could vote for someone else.
 If you think that mine is the best, not only will you be my new best friend, you can vote for me too.
In case you forgot you can just click on over here and vote.

OK I think that might be enough begging for now.

I might be back later with a give away/ bribe.
I can't find my camera and it is no fun describing how great something is without a picture.
I will try to be back tomorrow with all the details.
In the meantime you can go vote for me.

OK, OK, I will stop now.

    Robyn,

    Your quilt is ALL OVER Pinterest today! Even Lori Holt was saying how much she loves it. Good for YOU!! It's so amazing and so darn cute.

    Proud to say I know you - or at least filled swag bags with you. ;)

    I followed a Pin to find this gorgeous quilt! Your work is breath taking!

    Is it your own design? Is there a pattern?

    I hope you are still monitoring your comments because I'd love to hear from you!

    I'm a bit late in coming to the party, but had to say: "LoVe YoUr QuILt"!!! Marvelous creativity! With all the quilts I've made, I've never made a Wedding Ring Quilt. I hope to make one, one day, using my retired cotton button shirts (I used to wear with my suits!) from the late 1990's. Thanks for the inspiration! LOVE all of the appliqued dots!!
