Commissioned for a College-Bound Graduate
2 Attachment(s)
Just finished this quilt for a grad, in the school colors of the college he is going to. He was his class valedictorian. His mom ordered this quilt as a graduation gift.
It's a twin XL for the dorm bed... a bit too big for me to handle on my Juki, so a friend offered her long arm machine. This is the first quilt I have ever done on a long arm. I just did a simple big meander because I thought that was about as far as I could reach on my first try! |
It is just beautiful! It is amazing!
|
very nicely done!!!
|
Great quilt! Disappearing Hourglass is one of my new favourite patterns and I love your version!

Great quilt on all counts! Love the design, colors and I really like the quilting choice!
|
What a great quilt! You did a fabulous job. They're sure to love it

I should advise that disappearing hourglass is NOT easy to quilt, because the pieces end up mostly on the bias. I tried to straight line quilt it on my machine first and it just was not happening so I took it to the longarm, thinking that stretching it out on the frame would help. But nooooo... it was still a pain to keep the wrinkles from forming. I wonder if you can start out with bias cut squares for the DH and then you end up with on-grain blocks? Might experiment and try that, because it is such a cool block.

He is going to love his graduation quilt. Very nice.
