I’m really pleased to have gotten these squares sewn up into a king sized quilt top! It really wasn’t a planned quilt – or not planned for this moment, anyway, but now that it’s done, I can’t wait to get it quilted and on the bed.
As I mentioned before, I had this one planned in my mind for some time, and thought it would be a good opportunity to put all my favorite Denyse Schmidt prints in one quilt. I love me a plus quilt, and knew I’d like the look with all these smaller scale prints.
Since this one was meant for our king sized bed, I upped the size of the squares – using five 8″ squares (or a 1/4 yard cut of each fabric). And despite its large size, it came together rather quickly (a bonus in my book!). I even made a backing immediately and got it off in the mail to be quilted. I don’t send too many quilts out to be quilted, but I think I draw the line at a king sized quilt. I knew if I attempted it it might sit forever unfinished in the closet. And with the temps as they are in VT, I’ll need to put this one to use immediately!
(Hazel just happened to match the quilt top!)
