UFO Finally Finished!!!
 
1 Attachment(s)
I don't even want to figure out how many years ago I started this quilt. It was a kit I bought at the Chicago Quilt show. There are 30 colors in it. DGD fell in love with it the first time she saw it and still loves it. After I finished it, she stood at the end of the bed admiring it, just beaming. She even noticed the quilt thread was varigated in matching colors. When she was little, her nickname was the tie dye kid. Think that explains why she loves it. The company that made this kit (and the material in it) quit making this particular one. I called them a couple of years ago and they cut this kit for me. Knew someday I'd make one for her. I'm starting the second one now for my DGD's college graduation gift next May. Shhh!!! Don't tell her - it's a surprise! I like a lot too so she's getting a duplicate!

Very beautiful quilt and I am sure your GD will be so excited and surprised to receive her own rainbow quilt.

Tish05 10-08-2019 07:10 AM

That is beautiful! I've only just begun quilting so please pardon my question if it's dumb. Would that be like a bargello, with all the pieces the same size?

Karamarie 10-09-2019 03:08 AM

Can see why she loves it and what a wonderful gift it will be when you gift her one just like it.

Battle Axe 10-09-2019 03:21 AM

The effect of light coming from the gold stripe is just wonderful. It is the desired effect and you have nailed it. Congrats.

Fabulous quilt! I have one made in a similar pattern by my mother-in-law when she was 90 years old. I treasure it!

The center portion looks much like a Chinese Windows quilt I made a few years ago. Very nice job!

This quilt is just gorgeous! What company was that? I'd love to see if I could get one cut too! Also, how much cutting is done for you? Just a large enough piece of each color to sub-cut, or all the pieces cut for you? Thanks for any info!
