A Mr. Roger's Feeling
Mr. Roger's Neighborhood has been described as having a "quiet simplicity and gentleness." My boys loved spending some time in their day with Mr. Rogers. This quilt gives me that "Mr. Roger's feeling". I love the baby fabric. I love that I found it at the Salvation Army thrift store. I love the aqua binding. I love that it's finished. It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood. Enjoy your weekend everyone!

Don't you love finding treasures in unexpected places? Your quilt is simply beautiful!
It turned out wonderful! I love how you quilted it!
Absolutely wonderful! I love it!
It came out so cute! The quilting looks great. Sometimes I feel pressure (self imposed) to master the free hand style, but I like your lines and such. It is all I can do to manage large amounts of quilt in my standard machine. I like to thrift Store shop too. I've been reading Tallgrass w/o commenting lately but love your recent work. The bookmarks were clever and SO small/detailed! I like how your Star QAL came out. I'm still working on mine.
What gorgeous quilt. I absolutely love how you quilted it. It is very inspiring.
How pretty! Aren't those days wonderful?

I love it!! The calm peachy colors....mmmm! Once again you have made a beautiful quilt!
And....I find quilted lines to be much more unforgiving than freemotion (not that I find freemotion easy AT ALL!). But when straight quilting lines cross, you really have to trust your basting-abilities! I can't do it :-(
The colors are so mellow and peaceful. Wish my boys loved Mr. Rogers. The only thing they like about it is the trolley ('it would really be so much better if it were a train, mom' my oldest says.)
this one's a beauty. I love the calm colors, and I too LOVE the aqua binding.
Recycling is SO cool! I love the calm and peace of these colors!
I nominated you for an award on my blog today, go check it out! Love your stuff and really enjoy reading your blog!
It's beautiful! Simple lines and colors for a simple picture. Perfect!
quiet simplicity and gentleness- yes, that perfectly describes this! wonderful!
lovely, lovely, lovely.
It turned out lovely! i love this baby fabric, so cute! And the quilting is wonderful. Not too distracting from the cute baby fabric.
Your quilt embodies the warmth and simple messages of a gentle man. We certainly could use more of those strengths in this world.
It is a lovely quilt, serene and with a gently glow of comfort.
Beautiful, and I really like the blue binding.
Oh it's so lovely! Love the simplicity yet, variation in the blocks. And the aqua binding? The perfect touch!
Love your quilting! I need to get another quilt backed so I can do some more - I love the feeling and warmth it gives the fabrics :)
Love the soft, muted colours! Just gorgeous.
Beautiful, Jacquie! I love it.
BTW, I feel bad when I can't get to read other blogs too, but alas, there is so little time in the day!

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood

I love the quilt, love the soft look, REALLY love the vintage graphic print with baby faces! Everything you do is so inspired, I wonder if you have to think about what to do with a piece or does it just pop into your head?
Thanks too for the mention of Mr. Rogers - fond memories. Have a great weekend!
What a sweet, sweet quilt! You're a good finder!!! And my two sons hung out with Mr. Rogers when they were wee little lads too. I loved Mr. Rogers' gentle, reassuring ways. There's no one on TV like that anymore and that's just sad.
So great! It looks vintage!
The quilt is lovely. I love it. Have a great day in your neighborhood!
What an absolutely fabulous find! It's beautiful.
Mr. Rogers would find your quilt to be simply beautiful! As do we.
How beautiful! I love it too. So peaceful. Thanks for sharing.
It looks great! You are so talented!
It's really pretty! I love the colors and that vintage fabric is great.
It is a very pretty quilt and I love the blue lining. Mr. Rogers was one of the first tv programmes I used to watch daily when I moved to Philadelphia in 1981. I loved him and the way he spoke, very slowly. My English vocabulary wasn't that big at the time but Mr. Rogers I could understand and he also taught me a couple of new words.
this is such a lovely quilt! I really like the diagonal quilting. I have got to try that some day :)
what a sweet little quilt. I love the aqua binding.
