Olaf! For my sister...
 
3 Attachment(s)
Hi,
Just sharing a pic or two of an Olaf panel quilt I made up for my little sister, who shares my fondness for this great character! He never fails to make me smile, and hope it brings a smile or two to her face too!yy. It's backed with nice soft Olaf print flannel.

This was my first experience with working with a panel, building it out to a functional size for an adult and quilting it. I'm pretty happy with the outcome. I still have one ready to assemble and quilt yet for myself, so we'll each have one :)

Thanks for for taking a peak!

Love the accent stars & the pieced binding!

Kwiltr 12-27-2015 06:42 PM

Thanks PaperPrincess! I'm glad you noticed those darn stars! I made 30 of them thinking to fill the borders with them but with the plan of making our two quilts the same, meaning I'd have to make 30 more, decided we would share them! They are paper pieced and fiddley and took forever!

I like the way you took a panel to such great heights with the stars, borders and quilting designs. It make a panel quilt spectacular and sure to be loved. Your stars really are worth your effort.

Wow you went way beyond just Olaf as cute as he is! Your quilting is inspiring

Daylesewblessed 12-28-2015 05:24 AM

It's great how you picked up the colors on the panel for the stars. All of the quilting is beautiful, but the modern look of the straight line quilting around the stars is so very attractive to me!

luvstoquilt 12-28-2015 06:06 AM

Adorable. How much fun that you will each have one. Love how you did the borders and quilting.

ManiacQuilter2 12-28-2015 06:10 AM

Very cute and nicely done. I like the stars you put in the white border using the perfect fabrics.

maryb119 12-28-2015 06:59 AM

Wow! Beautiful quilt and the quilting really adds the finishing, perfect touch to it!

It's beautiful. Showing upside down but that's ok. Often I should turn on my head and look at the world differently!!

Cam's gram 12-28-2015 03:22 PM

Great job! It's the best Olaf I've seen.

Chester the bunny 12-28-2015 04:21 PM

Love it! Beautiful quilt. Thanks for sharing that the character makes you smile. I work in retail and there is a big stuffed Olaf on the shelf. Every day I control myself and have not bought him to take home. I've just decided that I'm not too old :o)

Mariposa 12-28-2015 04:27 PM

Fun quilt for her! Great stars in the border, as well as the scrappy binding! :)

I am loving all these validating comments as I really was feeling I'd done a really corny thing in the end for my sister and myself making us the Olaf quilts. (Considering we are well past the age of 29 if you know what I mean). There is still a child in all of us to celebrate!

mamajack3 12-28-2015 08:53 PM

Excellent job!

twinkie 12-29-2015 03:19 AM

It looks great.

jmoore 12-29-2015 04:13 AM

super fun quilt! I love all the colors in your border to highlight your panel and the quilting in the borders is fantastic. Awesome job....

nwm50 12-29-2015 04:51 AM

Outstanding!! I just love Olaf, just a goofy character. Your quilting is so super cute!

waltonalice 12-29-2015 06:27 AM

The stars are lovely and uniquely placed. The quilting is seemingly simple in places, almost like a Frank Lloyd Wright piece, and nicely curvy in other places along the border. You have a unique combination and the finished quilt will be a joy for your sister to examine.

It was upside down for me, too. But I right-clicked on the picture and then clicked "view image". It popped up right side up.

Beautifully done. You are an artist!
