It's a bit brighter and "wilder" than I normally pick but I think it turned out pretty good. Jon loves it and wants to keep it! Hopefully my dad and stepmom like it!

It's Finally Finished!
If you follow me on twitter or instagram you probably know that for the past several weeks (ok closer to months) I've been working on a quilt as a gift for someone for christmas. There were a few set backs; I ran out of fabric for the border and binding and had to buy more, and the person I had lined up to do the long-arm machine quilting couldn't at the last minute. But despite the close calls of not completing it I got it finished with one day to spare! It's hard to get a good photo that captures each color correctly but I tried!

ReplyDeleteThanks Steph! It took a while! I started it in October. I tried to roughly estimate how long it was taking; I lost count towards the end but I know it was +150 hours!
ReplyDeleteThanks Eliza! :)
ReplyDeleteThank-you Ada! It's one of my favorite patterns to use because it's actually pretty simple to make but it looks like I have more mad quilting skills than I do! Happy Holidays to you!!
