Photo shoot!

My Patchwork Prism quilt is done! A big thank you to Sweet Diesel Designs for hosting this Quilt-Along. I really didn't think about the time crunch I would be putting myself under before I joined the Quilt-Along because I was completely mesmerized by the pattern by Anna Maria Horner for Janome. She's my fave, and I knew I had to make this quilt to get me back to the sewing machine. 
I wanted to photograph the quilt outside because I really love the look of the outdoor photos that other people have taken of their beautiful finished Patchwork prism quilts. So with the help of some of my coworkers, we headed to the Hudson River. Unfortunately, it was way too windy!


So we took it to the garden at St. Luke's and got some nice shots:



I made the whole quilt from fabric in my stash, including the back. The only thing I bought was the batting!




Here's where we got arty!







It was a lot of fun, and I am very happy that I joined the Quilt-Along. All of the quilts are beautiful; it is so fun to see how everyone executed the pattern.

Patchwork Prism Quilt

Hi! I have not been keeping up with my posts--I've been mostly knitting--but when I saw this Quilt-A-Long, I knew I had to dust off my sewing machine.  I will be posting more photos and officially entering, but here is a photo of the finished product. Still life, with dog.
