Victoriana Quilt Designs 15th Anniversary Keepsake Quilt!

Victoriana Quilt Designs 15th Anniversary

This year I'm celebrating my 15th Anniversary online...and I so want to mark the occasion with a keepsake quilt!

I invited people to be part of this quilt by sending me 2 ~ 4" x 6" (10.16cm x 15.24cm) pieces of fabric, which I will include in my quilt.

Examples of Rose Fabrics
The first was a piece of cotton fabric with roses.
The fabrics in the picture are examples.

Jacquard Quilt Plan
The second was a piece of cotton tone-on-tone fabric with your name, city & anything else you'd like to include within the center 2" x 4". I asked them to please be sure to leave a 1" seam allowance all the way around.
If they'd like to write more than will fit, please do so on stationary...as I plan to keep a scrapbook with all the letters that come with the fabrics.

Thanks so much and (((big hugs))) to all who sent patches for my quilt (pictures below).

Psst...You can see an example of the first test quilt block below, too...and patches, as I begin to stitch the quilt together.

I've enjoyed watching the stack of envelopes grow, but have made myself patiently wait until this month before I began my stitching.
