Top is Finished

















































































































I have just finished running a quilting marathon.  While the floors were being installed, I had to be present so I tackled a quilt I have been wanting to make.  I literally was in my sewing room for over 24 hours in the past three days.  Today the hardwood floors are in and the 90x108 quilt top is finished.  If I had some helpers, I would have better photos but since the house is quiet, this is the best I could do with this giant topper.  I'm going to get an extra wide backing for this and it will be off for quilting. Have a great day!

Hugs,

  1. It's gorgeous Renee! I am loving quilts that have a lot of white between the colors, they just look so fresh and really let the pattern of the quilt show so nicely. But holy cats woman! Even with 24 hours I would never be able to cut and sew an entire top that size! My back would be so knotted up I couldn't move. Great way to multitask though.:>)

  4. Amazing what you can do when you are held captive in your sewing room. It's beautiful! Good for you. Enjoy this, and as time goes by, you will always remember your new flooring, and beautiful home to go with your beautiful quilt.

  5. Love it! Colors are phenomenal ;-) What is the pattern you used? I see the Jacob's Ladder but did you just "wing it" or use a pattern. Nice job ... betting the floors look great, too! Linda
