Finally!

Well, I actually have something to share now!  I finished my sister's quilt that I've been making.  This is using the blue fabric panels that started their life as a wrap dress.  I cut the piece in half and used one side as a panel for the quilt, and the other was cut into 5" squares for the rest.

My sister wanted the quilt backed with a flannel sheet for comfort, so I had her provide the sheet for me.  She ended up getting a duvet cover, so I used extra from the other side of the cover for the piecing on the front as well.  I don't have a picture of it finished and held up because I was by myself and it's big and heavy!!

This picture shows all the types of quilting that I did.  In the middle I quilted around all of the little flowers and then did loopy meandering between.  I did loops around the two narrow border diamonds.  The paisley part got the big loopy style stuff, and then the grey border is just stippled.  I did echo printing for the square borders the long way, leaving that part fairly minimally quilted.  

I sewed the binding on with the machine and it turned out really well.



I finished the quilt off with a label I got made on Spoonflower.  I attached it with steam a seam lite and then did some zig-zag stitching around the edge.  I am not sure why the one side was so tight because I didn't change anything, but I like how it works out.

I'll be linking up to Manic Monday Linky Party with Sew Happy Geek, and WIP Wednesday with Lee at Freshly Pieced.
