finally get to show you the graduation quilt

May 19, 2009 2 Replies

Jocelyn has received her quilt, and I've posted pics. It's the same pattern as the quilt I made for my sister in 2008, only smaller, and instead of batting and backing, I used fleece behind the top. I big stitch hand quilted and machine quilted. The hand quilting is with ecru pearl cotton, blue and lavendar embroidery floss. The machine quilting is with 2 different threads, a deep, royal purple and a vivid fuschia rayon thread, monofilament in the bobbin. I've had that particualr batik ever since I first began building my stash, just waiting for the perfect quilt. Jocelyn's favorite color is aqua/ turquoise, so I finally got to use it.

Beautiful! Of course, you've used MY favorite colors in the quilt, so if Jocelyn decides she doesn't have room for it, I'll be glad to give it a good home. :-)

I see what you mean about the batik. Indeed, it was waiting for the perfect quilt.

Beautiful, she must be thrilled. I absolutely love the quilting and the colors.
