Christmas present all done!
 

This quilt was started in September and it is all ready to be wrapped for Christmas. It's for a 16 year old girl who loves Paris, Rome & London. I love how the quilt turned out, but my heart is heavy with sadness from the recent happenings in Paris. My prayers to all the people of France.

It's absolutely beautiful! And what timing too

Beautiful!! Also sending prayers for France. So sad.

Very nice, good job !

beautiful quilt, on both sides

A wonderful time to send her a quilt! Our exchange student from Brazil 15+ years ago married a French lady and lives in Paris. We know via Facebook that he and his family (3 little girls) are okay. I hope your friend is okay, as well.

I'm sure she'll be thrilled with it.

Very pretty all of france is in my prayers god bless them!!

Great quilt!
What line are the fabrics? Or did you use your stash?
Would also appreciate knowing the pattern name.
Thank you.

Looks like a great reversible quilt too. Love the back.

Love it. BrendaK

Its beautiful, and she will really love it. Prayers for France.

A lovely quilt. Good choice of fabric and design for a 16 yr old girl.

Hi ranger ... well, I can answer some of your questions. The fabrics were from different lines of fabric ... the black & red Eiffel Tower fabric is a Michael Miller line and bought from Fabric.com. The other 3 focal prints (larger blocks) were also ordered from Fabric.com, but I do not know the line of fabric for them. The fabrics I used for the rectangles and smaller squares were bought at my local quilt shop and again, I do not know who or what! The smaller squares actually were from a charm pack ... what one? good question. I'm sorry that I wasn't anymore specific about the fabrics used. The only piece from my stash was the white backing material and that I know was Kona White and also bought from Fabric.com years ago. As for the pattern ... I didn't have one! I saw a picture on the internet and said ... that's what I need to do with these fabrics. Sorry I wasn't helpful there either. But ... the large square was cut 8 1/2" square, the rectangles were cut 4 1/2" by 8 1/2", and the corner small squares from the charm pack were trimmed to 4 1/2" square. When the pieces were sewn together, the unfinished block was 12 1/2" by 12 1/2"; making a 12" finished block. I just arranged the blocks on my design wall before sewing rows. The inner red border was cut 2 1/2" wide. The second border (from the different prints) were cut at, I think, 6 1/2". Then I bound it with the red fabric. Thanks for asking. It really was an easy quilt to piece. Nothing difficult.

Great quilt for a 16 year old gal! She will treasure this quilt. I know she will happy to have this quilt during her years ahead for college or other career training.

Wow! I love it!

Very nice quilt... she's gonna love it. The colors and fabric selection is wonderful. Glad you got it finished in plenty of time for Christmas.

Your quilt is lovely and so very thoughtful. I am sure that it will be received with an extra amount of love in light of the current happenings. We are all deeply affected by these acts of diabolical terrorism and we can all use doses of care and compassion from others at difficult times like this.

Love both the front and back!

Wonderful quilt. Great back also. I think we're all heartsick over what happened in Paris.

Nice quilt.
