Gerber Daisy Wall Hanging - Part 5

The Gerber Daisy wall hanging got finished this past weekend and then I was off visiting friends out of town including Karen who had her birthday yesterday and this quilt was for her. She totally loved it and Gerber daisies are her favorite flower. Here is a picture of the finished quilt.


I didn't have enough of the forest mist fusion fabric so the binding was done in the onyx mist fusion.  It turned out great in that the onyx colour acted like a frame for the quilt. For the quilting I did some Gerber leaves in the lower area around the Gerbers as well as some stylized ferns. At the top of the quilt I did Wisteria and a hummingbird. The borders were quilting with silhouettes of hummingbirds going around the quilt. Here are the details of the quilting. First the Gerber leaves.



This is the fern.


Here is the wisteria.


This is the hummingbird, it is a amethyst throated hummingbird.


This is the quilting in the borders.


I really enjoyed making this quilt wall hanging for Karen.  It's size is 36" wide by 38" tall. The interesting thing is not only does she have Gerbers growing in her garden but she also has ferns and wisteria in her garden and hummingbirds do come to visit her garden.

It turned out so beautifully. I love all of the interesting and well done quilting in it too. I would have loved seeing Karen's face when she saw her garden in a quilt. Well done!!!

Another great Vicki Creation. :-) I like all the little design aspects that go into this quilt. Part of me wants to say oh I love this but then I'd have to list everything, so best just say if I had four thumbs I'd put them all up. Hehehe.
