Especially when selfish looks like this:
Hello pretty.
Pretty fabric:
This one is my favourite from the Seaside Cottage line by Heather Mulder Peterson.
Pretty pattern:
Spanish Tiles, also by Heather Mulder Peterson. The pattern is in the Living Large 2 book and this is the lap size version (around 60” x 70”).
Pretty quilting:
My rather poor attempt at FMQ swirly swirls type stuff. Okay not so pretty but the idea was.
Pretty pieced back:
Red Swirl from Vintage Modern with the remainder of the Seaside Cottage prints.
Yep. It's all about the pretty. Selfish pretty.
And it’s mine. All mine. Mine mine mine. (I’m really getting the hang of this selfish thing).
Even Teddy looks envious that this is all mine. Watch it Teddy or you’re going to the op shop. Paws off.

Not selfish at all! I haven't kept one yet, but it's on my early 2013 list, and I'm not going to feel bad about it at all! This one's beautiful, and I'm so glad you're keeping it to enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteOh that is just the most lovely quilt and I am glad you are keeping it for yourself.
ReplyDeleteOh don't send teddy to the op shop! He is looking to have a snuggle under your very pretty quilt!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear you're keeping it!!! Its really really beautiful, you deserve it.
ReplyDeleteTeddy does have a bit of a dodgy look on his face! Your quilt looks fantastic so glad you are keeping it.
ReplyDeleteThe only words missing in your post are: my PRECIOUS! ha ha I enjoyed seeing it once more an reading your blog is always fun.
ReplyDeleteIt is really lovely I think you should be selfish more often, although poor Ted might not agree!
ReplyDeleteIf I'd made something that lovely, I'd totally be keeping it and wouldn't feel selfish. At all. You deserve it!
ReplyDeleteOoooh such a beautiful quilt with gorgeous fabrics. Good on you for keeping it to yourself.
ReplyDeleteAwesome pattern. I love that it's YOURS! I'm with you; it's rare that I put something for myself on top of the priority list.
ReplyDeleteI would keep it, too! Enjoy your new pretty quilt guilt free!
ReplyDeleteI would have kept this one as well. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteThat came out so nice!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is so pretty! Great job on the quilting!! Happy weekend to you!
ReplyDeleteWouldn't the world be a much prettier place if selfish always looked like this? Enjoy every thread of it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a dynamic outcome. Very pretty...I'd keep it too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty quilt. Can't blame you for keeping it.
ReplyDeleteLove that pattern and it was so well executed - congrats on the finish.
ReplyDeleteYummy! Yummy! Yummy, Kristy! Yay for being selfish every so often!
ReplyDeleteLove the fabric! Love the pattern, Spanish Tiles. You did great at the FMQing.. My only suggestion is to fill the block. Once it gets busy enough, even you'll have difficulty finding the flaws.
ReplyDeleteI have this book and would like to try that pattern. How difficult was piecing the X's?
ReplyDeleteFrom memory, it wasn't that bad at all! I wasn't a super expert quilter at the time but the pattern made it all come together quite easily.
