Sweet Dreams Quilt
I’ve shared a few progress posts of my half-square triangles on point quilt, here and here. But I’ve never shared a photo of the finished quilt.
This past week I received a package in the mail with the latest issue of the new magazine Quilt it… Today.
Inside is a wonderful feature of my quilt…
Oh my, how I love the cozy bed!
After some debate, I ended up hand quilting this quilt… in the ditch creating diagonal squares. I intended to quilt across to make triangles, but I could never wrestle it away from my family for long enough to work on it more.
Hand quilting was definitely the way to go. The feel of a hand-quilted quilt is SO much softer and more cozy than a machine-quilted quilt. Combined with the wonderful flannel backing, the Sweet Dreams Quilt is big and soft and perfect for snuggling under. It is by far the most loved quilt I’ve ever made.
If you’ve not seen the new magazine Quilt it… Today. You need to check it out. I am truly honored to be featured in this awesome new magazine. It is full of wonderful quilt patterns, inspiration, and great quilting tips.

Beautiful quilt and it looks like the magazine did a beautiful layout. I am going to have to pick up the magazine!
I have yet to see this magazine in our area. It really looks good, and a great price too. Who is the publisher?
Hi Jocelyn, the publisher is Valu-Publishing. They also create Sew it… Today.
Thanks. I ordered the magazine. Hope it comes soon, so I get that quilt pattern
Oh what a beautiful quilt!
Congratulations. :0)
Your block arrived. Thank you
so much! I hope to post them
in the next day or two. :0)
Congratulations! What a gorgeous quilt. I love that it looks doable to a novice knitter, but its beautiful simplicity must appeal to expert quilters as well.
Crazy but I was wondering about that quilt! I am starting a half square quilt and looked back last week to see if there was a picture of yours finished….I was just a few days early :)
Beautiful!
Did you make the pillow cases too? If you bought them, where did you get them. I love this room and everything in it! We are moving to another house in about a year, and I want to make my daughter’s room look like this! I will be getting the magazine and making that quilt!
Hi Susan, I love the vintage pillow cases too. The photo was taken by the magazine, and unfortunately only the quilt is mine.
Suuuper pretty quilt! :)
