Here it is hanging over the back fence. It's really difficult to photograph pink, but I do believe this photo is the truest showing of actual color. I made a pieced binding from several of the fabrics in this line.
Here Mr. Squash is holding it in the garden. The weather has been just gorgeous! I even have some new pumpkins in the patch that might just make it until first frost!
The quilt has been washed twice now since being quilted and bound - I love the way a quilt looks after washing. Here is a closeup of some of Mary's quilting.
I still have very little time for the computer - we have lots going on around the Squash House. I really appreciate those of you who have stuck with me through our new venture into retirement! I got to thinking about all that we've been through the past 9 months! I feel like we really gave birth to the Squash House - and I'm pooped! I do know life will slow down once the first frost comes, and I'm really looking forward to a fantastic Fall!

Your quilt is so beautiful in those lovely colours and the stitched blocks. The quilting is amazing - maybe next year you'll be quilting like this with your new longarm!
Mary does do beautiful work. And so do you! It turned out wonderful. I just love taking a quilt out of the dryer....all nice and warm and fresh smelling and crinkly ....just like me!!! LOL
That is really cute, the quilting on it is fantastic!
A wonderful pair--your lovely work and Mary's beautiful quilting. Your quilt looks ready to be snuggled under when the frost does get on the pumpkins.
Beautiful quilting and needle work by you. I love Bunny Hill patterns. I did Postcard Cuties and have Autumn Houses in my queue.
Wow - what a beautiful combination of color and fabric. Nice job and Mary's quilting is wonderful, too.
What an awsome job you did with the quilt... I love to see all the diffrent ways that quilters do on the same pattern... Love the quilting, who ever did this did a wonderful job... :)
It's stunning, Candace.
Oh so sweet!!
WOW!!!
It looks FANTASTIC!!! Mary certainly does NOT disappoint!
The quilt turned out so sweet, I think I finished about 4 of those blocks and they are in my stray block basket, but I do have all the patterns so I could finish someday. Hard to believe it has been 9 months already...we just celebrated 1 year here and we still don't have a proper name for our place...would have to be something with hummingbirds or quail cuz we have lots of those!
What a beautiful quilt. Love the colors and of course Mary's beautiful quilting.
Stunning, Candace. Both you and Mary did a fabulous job.
And I would have recognized Mr. Squashs' hands anywhere. I knew it was him holding up the quilt as soon as I saw them! *wink*
Very soft, pretty, and beautiful with the quilting! I'm ready to snuggle under it in the cool night...Congrats on a great finish. Hope things calm down a bit in the next month :)
I love quilts after they been washed as well. Your stitching is stunning and so is Mary's quilting.
Gorgeous!!! What a beautiful job of embroidery and piecing and Mary did a fabulous job on the quilting.
Oh wow candace, nice! Isn't great quilting just the perfect touch to a great quilt.
How delightful, Candace. You two make a great pair. She really was able to highlight your lovely work in a nice, ultra classic way.
Your basket quilt is so adorable!!
Love the soft pinks and lilacs. So pleasant and lovely! The quilting on it is gorgeous!! Your garden makes such a nice backdrop for the quilt :)
Beautiful quilt, Candace.
Good luck with the pumpkins, too!
Mary's quilting perfectly complements what was already a wonderful quilt.
It's strange how busy and tiring retirement can be isn't it?
Now that's an heirloom! Very pretty and Mary did some great quilting.
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!
I keep hearing that retirement is busy. I'm planning on it being busy but with the things I love to do. I know you've enjoyed every minute of it!
Candace, your quilt is lovely! And you chose a really good quilter to make it even more beautiful.
Your quilt is beautiful. I'm also hoping fall gives me more time. Have a great day!
Amazing! Candace I, like you prefer a quilt after several washings! I love the colors!
Oh, it turned out great. I still have 2 blocks to finish. Mary did a wonderful job quilting it. Well done you two.
