My wife asked me at 9am if I could make a lap quilt for her friend's birthday. Me being the sucker that I am said sure. 11 hrs later and here it is :)

OK, that is really impressive. Does that pattern have a name? Also, don't tell anyone out in the "real world" about this. People will be expecting this kind of output from all of us, and then the thugs might come after you. Heh, heh, heh.

Omg, what themadpatter said cracked me up! :D
That's a beauty, Joe! You did a beautiful job. |
Wow! Not sure if I'm more amazed about the length of time you took on this (almost nothing!) or the quilt--very pretty!
|
great job!!
|
Love your quilt. The pattern and fabric combination is awesome. As an FYI, I spend more time ripping out seams in my quilts than it took you to start and finish your quilt.
|
Lovely quilt!
|
Oh, wow, Joe. That is gorgeous and I am more than impressed that you did it in a day. Your wife owes you a good back rub. I'm sure your neck and shoulders are feelin' the 11 hours !
Love the fabric. Your wife's friend is getting quite a treasure. |
Great quilt and neat backing!
|
What a great quilt. I can't imagine even the simplest of all simple quilts done in 11 hours. You must have really had the pedal to the metal the whole time. Your wife's friend will surely love the beauty that you made.
|
What I great gift! Beautiful quilt. I love the pattern.
|
OH, wow, ...
|
Fantastic!--you're a keeper.
|
Nice pattern and well chosen fabrics for the purpose. It is really good for the mojo to finish a project so quickly. We all need one of those kind of finishes from time to time. Lucky recipient.
|
You did a beautiful job!!
|
Wow! Wonderful quilt! Did you have time to eat ... or even breathe? ... Amazing!
|
Great color combination and pattern. Good job!!
|
Thanks all, she loves the quilt so that's good. But I'm exhausted today so lesson learned tell my wife to plan ahead next time lol.
|
It takes me longer than that to pull out all the fabrics and decide on a pattern. You did a great job piecing too. Love your jellyroll.
As far as mermaid's comment, I'm not too sure how I'd feel if my husband sewed and quilted..Two sides of the coin, one, we'd either fight for time in the sewing room, sharing machines, etc OR the flip side, he'd like it so much he wouldn't think twice about buying a mid-arm or long arm machine!!!-lol |
Great quilt. Thanks for the link. Wow, one day. Impressive.
|
Joe, that's a lovely project and I enjoyed the scenery fabric on the back. I might just steal that concept in the near future, I have a lot of precut strips I'd like to use.
I just finished collecting fabric for a Postcard quilt and took an actual postcard sized piece of fabric with some sort of picture on it, framed by a narrow dark/light gray attic window, next step is to sash the whole thing with black. But anyway, while I've been collecting fabrics for this I've gotten a number of large scale scenic prints and appreciating them while I cut out a tiny little piece. But I've been thinking I'll piece the back with various large scale yardage, probably the best way to enjoy them is in large pieces. |
Beautiful! I love the Strip Twist pattern, and you chose such pretty colors.
|
The quilt came out great. I love the colors and I love how intricate the block looks, but is very simply made. You've got a winner in that husband.
|
very impressive. Looks like you spent a month on it!
|
Love that pattern and have been wanting to try it for sometime as I have plenty of stringy scraps. Love your fabrics on your quilt and btw, great job and finish.
|
Wow! If we were in cars, you would be on the highway, and I would be on a curvy country road. That is incredibly fast, and it came out great.

I know right?! :D |
Wow! That's great.I really like the colors, and Thanks for the link. I thought my day was productive....I made 10 leaves and 8 circles for my current applique project! I must say it took me a long time to "master" the process!
|
Wow! Quick and it looks great!
|
How nice! You really got a wiggle on to finish this quilt in a day! Wow joe, are you for hire?
