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?

really nice and colorful quilt and with the white sashing it is just beautiful!

Simply beautiful!

this is fabulous! i just love it! it's cozy and snuggly :)

Ditto to what everyone has said. This is a super quilt. I just keep looking at it and the binding is beautiful. Love the way it is quilted. BrendaK

It is queen sized--my son is measuring it at the moment, though. 90 x 98" according to my 16 y/o. son who is downstairs and I'm upstairs where my computer is (but that sounds about right.)

Beautiful quilt!

Very nice, someone will love it.

That's awesome

Beautiful! Love everything about it-design, colors, puffiness, simple quilting. Awesome job!

Wonderful quilt!!

lovely quilt

Really gorgeous! I love the slightly puffy look to it too. And your right it does have that modern feel to it.

Love the puffiness! I haven't made a puffy one yet, what batting did you use?

Fabulous quilt! I wish I were that lucky recipient! WHERE did you find that beautiful border fabric? It looks like you managed to choose all your squares to go beautifully with that!

poly, 100 gram (I suppose that means 3 oz.) but am not sure 100 gram for what measure...so I can't compare. It is relatively thin poly batting, but about the thickest I can comfortably actually quilt.

I've tried quilting 150 gram poly batting and it is almost impossible although 120 grams I can quilt. 200 grams is really only usable for tying--at least with my machines and skill level.

It was actually the way around. I went to my stash after I made the quilt and auditioned two possible fabrics. Of that one, I only had about 32", I made the border only that wide. If I had had more, I would have made it a bit wider. I love that border. I don't know where I got it, but I think it was the Hospice Thrift store in New Port Richey, FL. I found a bunch of quilt shop quality fabric there last year.

You're really generous on top of being talented! I love this bright, cozy quilt. Great fabric choices and I can't believe you chose that great border AFTER not before the rest of it!

Someone is going to be very happy taking this home. Reminds me of a stained glass window, very pretty.

Beautiful, looks so puffy and warm.

Someone is going to be very lucky to get that beauty. Very good job.

beautiful quilt!!!!

very nice.....

Another beauty. Honestly, do you ever rest?? You put me to such shame.

That is really a beauty. Love the colors, the setting, everything. Lucky the person who wins it.

I love this quilt--I think the colored cornerstones along with the diagonal setting is the perfect way to finish. Great job. I'm keeping a picture of it in my collection of "quilts to make someday". aks for sharn.

This is so beautiful. ......

Just beautiful! I love that it is coming from Poland to North Carolina. You can use it as a pillow to sleep on the plane!

Actually, it is one of my problems. I did stop last night after doing some other things and we watched one episode of Criminal Minds. But that was the first tv/video in quite a while.

It is simple and beautiful. I wish I was going to be there to win it.
