AMH {a finished quilt}

Winter made a stormy entrance earlier this week so I am feeling very pleased that I have a super-snuggly new quilt for winter evenings. I love the rich colours of Anna Maria Horner fabrics and the glorious chaos that happens when you put them all together. This one makes me think of red wine and an open fire place.



I wanted to keep it all AMH, so I chose one of her 'plainer' fabrics for the back. It was quilted in an all over pattern by Carol Fearon and I used a wool batting for the first time. I really like the wool, it seems to make it a bit puffier which, for this type of quilt, seems just the ticket!


Linking up a little belatedly over at Freshly Pieced.

  1. I really really LOVE this one Megan! It makes me want to make a super saturated crazy AMH quilt too. I particularly like the black/grey border and how it ties everything together and makes the colours look even brighter. Nice work!

  3. I love this one too Megan! Just beautiful! As Adrianne said the super saturated colours are stunning! I hope you don't mind, but I pinned this, just so I can look at it again and again!

  4. Yum yum. I'm not entirely sure that the colours suit your decor though. So, you know, if that ever really bothers you, I can probably help out. ;-)

  6. Like everyone else, I am entranced with how you placed your border in another colorway entirely! Wonderful! Can you give me the size of the quilt? I love everything AMH!
