North Pacific, scrappy quilt
 

This quilting has just been completed. The pieced pattern is based on a Janine Holzman design called North Pacific, which appeared in Quilter's Newsletter Magazine, Sept. 2006. The quilting pattern is a variation of the classic Orange Peel.
I am pleased with this quilt and I'm looking forward to binding it. It is 72" square.

Very pretty and especially love the boats and whales around the inside of the border.

This is a beautiful quilt and the quilting sets it off so nicely!

Very nice!

Love it and the colors, too!

Wow, what a spectacular example of color and value. You did an outstanding job picking fabrics from your scraps to make this beautiful quilt. I would be more than pleased with the outcome, I'd be ecstatic! You should consider entering into MQX this spring in either the end to end quilting category or if you have never entered before as emerging entrant. It really is that appealing.

Another stunner Jenn!

A beautiful quilt with beautiful colors. Love the whales & boats along the border.

Thanks everyone. The pictures are somewhat "deceiving" in terms of not showing the huge number of pieces and variety of scraps in the boats and whales alone. Here's a flashback picture of the construction (many moons ago).

What a stunning quilt! The middle part as such is beautiful, but those whales and boats really make it special!

Gorgeous quilt, quilting and great colors.

Beautiful! My hubby wants me to make a quilt to commemorate our trip to Alaska. That would be lovely! Great quilt!

This is outstanding..... The colorway is so soothing and just blends beautifully.... Gorgeous!!!

Gorgeous! I love the colors.

Great pattern and your color choices are amazingly gorgeous!

How did you manage to take such a great photo of your quilt? The quilting design can be seen so clearly. The whale and ships along the border are so clever. I like the scrappy look of this pattern but also your color choices. Thanks for sharing.

Love the colors - and the border is spectacular!

Beautifully done! I see a lot of HSTs...truly a labor of love. Your colors are fantastic and piecing looks perfect. Great job.

Beautiful bright quilt but a lot of work for sure.Love your quilting. Congratulations on a great finish

Beautiful quilt and wonderful color choices for fabrics!

Ditto, ditto, ditto on the boats and whales!! Did you have a pattern for the quilt or just 'wing it"?

Beautifully done.

I love your fabric colors together, and the whales/boats make it really unique.

The pattern is lovely, but it's your choice of color that made this a fantastic quilt! Be proud!

Just an accidentally good photo for once. The sun was getting lower so the angle of light was good. I swept a section of the driveway, laid the quilt down, then stood on a chair about 4 feet away.

Thank you. The designer of the pattern lived in Alaska.

absolutely stunning!

So beautiful and the colors are refreshing!

Lovely-gorgeous quilt!

Beautiful quilt and the border of whales and boats really awesome. Your quilting is amazing!

Your quilt is mesmerizing! Love the colors and the boats and whales.

Dittto...................

My goodness....that is absolutely gorgeous:):)!!! Thanks for telling where the pattern came from. It's possible I may have that issue.

Oh my, I love everything about this quilt, the colors, the whales and ships, and the quilting. Wonderful quilt.

Nice quilt.

Your quilt is just exquisite! Congratulations on such a lovely quilt. It's on my to-do list.

Gorgeous quilt! You chose such fabulous colors!

Beautiful quilt! I like the illusion of the colors fading in and out. And the inner border with the whales and ships is a really nice touch.
