Yay! I finished sewing the binding onto my quilt today. It is officially finished.
I managed to take it out for quick photo shoot before it went too dark and rainy, so here they are.
There's the usual washing line photo that we all resort to from time to time.
And one across a wooden bench. Some leaves photo bombed the shot, so I'll always know what time of year I finished this quilt!
Back indoors, it's all rolled up ready and waiting for someone to snuggle up under it tonight.
I love the bright navy polka dot against the solid red binding. I was going to use the remaining pieces of jelly roll and make a scrappy binding. I'm so glad I went for the solid red. I think it frames the quilt well.
I echo quilted around the shapes and along the sashings. Not perfectly, more of a whimsical effect. In other words, I'm not patient enough to go slowly and accurately, but I'm happy with it.
Vital Statistics:
Finished quilt size: 55"x 73"
Fabric for quilt top: Reunion Jelly Roll by Sweetwater for Moda
Backing: Bright navy polka dot, source unknown
Binding: Solid red

That's a work of art. I'm always amazed at how much work goes into a quilt.
ReplyDeleteGreat use of color and the pattern really works with the fabric.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking for the jelly roll patterns and can't find them. The links aren't working for them. Can you tell me where to find this pattern and the others you have? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWow Julie it looks fantastic! No wonder you are thrilled with it. You did well to have an outdoor photo shoot, it's been pretty miserable here, not to mention cold! So who is the lucky recipient?
ReplyDeleteStunning quilt and really fab photos!
ReplyDeleteI love it. Outside photos would have resulted in a very wet quilt here today!

ReplyDeleteWow, Julie - it's truly gorgeous, you've done a great job with the quilting. Did you patiently sew in all the thread ends too?

ReplyDeleteHi Julie, your quilt is fantastic! I'm having trouble finding reunion jelly roll in the UK, can you help please?
ReplyDeleteI find your work so inspirational!
I got mine on a stand at a quilt show.(not sure which stand now) I think some shops still have Reunion yardage, but I haven't seen pre-cuts in stores for a while.
ReplyDeleteI really love this quilt. Is the pattern available somewhere?
ReplyDeleteAlmost Scandinavian in its simplicity and graphic nature. I hope you will make the pattern and instructions available. Many of us would love to make our own version.
ReplyDeleteThe pattern is available to purchase. See the "My Patterns on Craftsy" in the sidebar of this blog
ReplyDeleteWhat a great quilt! Really lovely :)
