The Walking Dead Quilt
 

I finally finished my first quilt, and feline fanatic suggested I post it here. Thanks to all the wonderful advice I got here, I'm quite pleased with how it turned out. And now I can't wait to start another one! That's not to say that there aren't things I would do differently, but I learned so much and can apply those lessons to my next project.

I made this for my stepson who is a Walking Dead fanatic. My goal was to have it completed before the new season starts, and I made it with 3 weeks to spare. :-) Now if it will only get cold enough to use it...

Really like your illusion quilt, your son will love it.

nicely done

What a wonderful quilt. Good job on your first quilt. Can't wait to see pictures of your next projects.

Thank you everyone, for all the kind words. :) My first post here was to ask about thread color, and I got so much guidance on things I hadn't even considered yet. I had read blogs, and watched videos, but nothing was as valuable as the tips offered by the members of this forum. I'm in the planning stage for my next project, so I'm sure I'll be leaning on you all again soon.

Great quilt for the WD lover!

how cool, what a great quilt

It's perfect! Great job! :D

I love illusion quilts! I'm not much of a modern quilt person except for this pattern. Great work with the linear quilting, really keeps the feel of the topic. And love the patterns within the patterns. You did quite a bit of planning with the fabrics. Great job, I'm sure he'll absolutely treasure it!

What a good job you did! He'll grab it first should he have to evacuate!

How cool is that?!!! He'll love it! DH would love it too, he's a fan! I could never understand how he can watch that and go right to sleep afterwards. It was challenging for me to fall asleep to with all the sound effects! A very nice quilt for being your first!

What a neat quilt! That pattern is perfect to show off the fabrics

Great quilt! Nicely done

You did a great job, I'm sure he will love it. I think I might try that with some novelty fabric I have, what size did you cut your focus fabric squares? Thank you.

very nice job!!!
