Boy it feels great to have this quilt done! Begun back in February, with my good friend Louise @imfeelincrafty as designer and hostess, I've been making blocks month by month pretty much on schedule. My Seattle MQG guild mates - and others! - have been actively making them as well, so it's been fun to follow along with them too.
A pieced quilt back seemed in order, and I started with extra blocks from the front but then made a bunch more HRTs and HSTs from scraps.
The overall quilt is 56" x 56". I went pretty simple with my quilting, using the serpentine stitch on my backup machine, with Aurifil 40wt 6722 [Sea Biscuit]. Gotta say, that serpentine goes pretty quickly, and before I knew it, I was binding the quilt in Kona Pacific, one of the colors used in making the blocks.
I haven't been quite as good with having a monthly quilt finish this year, so it feels extra good to have one for November. Plus, a nice, cozy quilt finish is always a good thing.

Congratulations, great finish! Kona Pacific is a gorgeous color.
ReplyDeleteIt's delightful! I really love how the pieced backing came together, and the low volume prints you chose for the front add a delightful pizazz to the front. Congratulations on the finish. I hope it's as warm and cozy as it looks.
ReplyDeleteI think this is fantastic! Your color combination is just gorgeous. I really admire you for getting right to it, to make it done, done, done in November. I'm looking forward to sandwiching and quilting my own in December. Santa's had me very busy in his sewing studio. Hope you get to cuddle in your lovely finish!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun quilt! -Karin
