It's going in my carry on!
 

I finished this one a few minutes ago. Still have to make a label but my (identical twin) sister commissioned me to make a quilt for a camp in NC (The Anchorage) which is going to have a Ladies' Retreat this fall. This will be a door prize, so one of the ladies who attends will win it.

I asked her for pics of what she wanted. She and the lady in charge of the retreat decided on this pattern. I found the fabrics as best as I could from my stash to match the picture and came up with this.

I posted the top a while ago, but just finished the quilting today. This seems the quintessential of all "traditional" quilts, as it is only 5" squares on point with 1.5" sashing and cornerstones, but amazingly enough with enough white in there it has a bit of a modern look. So I straight line quilted it. It has a slightly puffy look which I like for this quilt.

I hope she is pleased.

I would like to wash it once I'm in the states (we head back in early May for a graduation from college - DD#1, and wedding, DS#2), but I want to use that stuff that stabilizes the color which I can get there. This one will travel with me in my carry on.

Love this quilt. This is the kind of slight puffiness I like in all quilts. The recipient of this quilt will be very lucky.

Looks sew cozy, too.

I love your door prize quilt. Your piecing is perfect, as usual. Nice job.

I love this quilt -- the colors, setting, quilting-- everything about it -- really nice job.

Someone will love this quilt. I love the jewel look of it. :)

It's a beauty! Funny when I saw the picture the very first thought I had was "Oh my god how awesome an adult puffy quilt! Where can I get one"

Great job!

What a beautiful quilt, so well made.

I love this quilt. Just beautiful!

I love it. I was just looking for ideas to use my charm squares on. What size is your quilt?
