Soy Amado No. 55

All the blocks in this quilt came from one person, including an instructional two page step-by-step of how I was to assemble the blocks to make the quilt the way the maker envisaged.

I was tempted to ignore the letter and do it the way I wanted to.
Just because I rather like assembling these quilts in a random way.

But I reminded myself someone had taken the time to make all these blocks, reined in my inner-truculence, behaved and did as I was told.



And I'm rather glad I did.




Beautiful quilt in a beautiful location.


I took these photos less than an hour ago and have not touched up the colours in any way.

It's not often, but just once in a while we get a gorgeous winter's day and suddenly it feel as if spring is lurking just around the corner.

    It's a beautiful quilt, although one wonders why the maker did not send the quilt assembled and bound for you. I love the photos, your island is so beautiful.

    It is a lovely quilt. Glad you are having a fine winter day, too. It's nice to get a 'weather break' now and then.

    Another lovely quilt. Unusual with the row of impov blocks running though the centre. A bit like following a recipe for you to assemble. Well done.

    Princess has just announced that she wants to come and live there. When she's grown up. And she'll fly home in an aeroplane and bring me a special treat one time. Great quilt. Well done on the restraint!

    Your quilt is adorable and so is the surrounding location. I hope that one day I get the opportunity to visit your beautiful island!
    Please go on with your soy-amado-project. It is so much worth it!

    It's gorgeous and well done for treading on the inner rebel - it must have been tough ;-)

    I do like the layout, too. I'm sure that the blockmaker is pleased that you used her vision. It's a really pretty quilt!

    Lovely quilt but if the person had such a strong vision why didn't they assemble the blocks themselves and send you a whole quilt?

    Lovely!!!! as always.
    did you by chance arrange the blocks the way you wanted (and take a picture) then..... follow the instructions??
    it would have been interesting to see what YOU would have done with them..
