A granny on the bed

Ruby's quilt is finished!  We love it.


The Autumn Blooms quilt back from A Bright Corner was the inspiration for the back and I included a strip of scraps that Ruby and I had sewn together.  It's definitely a reversible quilt, we love both sides.  The scrappy strip is project 19 of Scraps 101.




The quilting ended up being such a chore - I wanted the negative space to be more densely quilted than the blocks, which I outline quilted.  I decided on diagonal lines spaced about an inch apart, but which didn't cross over the coloured squares in the outline quilted blocks.  It took me aaaaaaages, stop start stop start.  I was so pleased to have it finished.

Ruby loves it, so its a huge success.  The Lorax is still my favourite.

  14. I don't know where to start.... I love everything about this quilt! Especially that the super girly backing includes a strip pieced with the help of your daughter. That is just too precious! The quilting was well worth the effort on your part. It adds an element of movement. Congrats on a gorgeous finish!
