How fun that I'm not the only 'quilt spotter' out and about. Of course I knew I wouldn't be, but what I didn't realise is how many quilts have been spotted - there are so many! I've been thinking on it since I posted about the movie quilt, and wouldn't it be a fun job to be a stylist on a movie set? I'd love that kind of work ... but not a lot of call for it here in 'lil 'ole Adelaide I'm sure :-)
And in a complete act of serendipity, the movie 'The Proposal' was on TV tonight - it was much mentioned in the comments of the last post. I tried my best for you, and got a super blurry picture of the quilt. May I present the Babymaker! My picture does it no justice - it was beautiful to see. While I'm on the subject of beautiful things to see ... Lordy, has Ryan Reynolds always been so ummm defined?? Hello abs, very nice to see you!!
Anyways, back to the quilt :-) ... I Tivo'ed the movie, so I'll try and get a better pic on the weekend - it's not easy. My hat is off to blogs like Hooked on Houses who always get great interior shots from movie houses. This quilt spotting could become my cardio I'm thinking ... yeah ... I clearly need some exercise *lol*
And just to show that I haven't been watching movies and slacking off 24/7, here is where I'm up to with my hexagons for Mrs Billings final border. I'm officially half way! YAY!
I also have some shopping spoils to share, but it's getting late here, so I'll save them for the next post. Chatter soon! xox

I don't think I would ever be able to make a Mrs. Billings quilt, I've been watching, and it is gorgeous, but a lot of work! I can't wait to see the finished product, I'll just live through you! LOL
Mrs. Billings is coming along nicely! Will we get to see some of her this weekend?
I love that you are a quilt spotter too. I always lovettrying to get a good picture of a quilt from movies that I watch. I watched a movie the other day and there was a ton of quilts in it - almost every scene! Unfortunately I don't remember the name of it.
Friends has an episode where Phoebe is sitting on a bed with a yo-yo quilt!!!!! I took a ton of pics with my camera phone. So glad I'm not the only one who looks for quilts on shows, movies, etc. One show awhile back had some of the most beautiful petal pillows I have ever seen. I took photos but cannot find the pattern, ugh! Mrs. Billings is beautiful! I'll tell the fine peeps at Whittles Saturday you said "hi". ;)
Love those hexies. I watched that movie last night. You may get a better shot when he is sleeping on it on the floor. Loved that movie. Hugs....
Quilts in movies: The Tall Men (beautiful applique quilt, and a simple patch one), You've Got Mail (tan pinwheel), Step-Mom (lots of quilts), Saving Mr. Banks (on dad's bed), just to name a few
