Tilda Windy Days Quilt

While browsing quilt ideas awhile ago, I came across this quilt by Tilda called Windy Days.   I sent the link to my daughter in law as it had my granddaughter Eleanor's name all over it! She could definitely be described as a little whirlwind ☺.   I collected fabric over the next few months to match her bedroom and had a lot of fun with this pattern.  Eleanor loved the quilt and even got to come along to my neighbour across the street, Chris, who quilted it for me on her long arm machine.  Eleanor got to see the big machine and help choose the pattern for quilting and the thread colour.

The peach houses and florals were the focus fabrics for the quilt.

One of nine blocks.

The finished quilt.

There was enough left of the peach houses and floral to piece a backing for the quilt.

The lovely quilting Chris did on the quilt.  It really added to the "Windy City".

The quilt fit perfectly on the bed.
