It seems to have taken me an entire year to finally finish my daughter's scrappy trip quilt.
I love this pattern!
Every time I quilt one for a customer I say to myself, "I need to finish at least one for myself."
Well, with a little help from my friend, Trish, I was able to finish this one.
She sewed up at least half of my blocks for me -
thank you, Trish!
My daughter likes brighter colors so this was perfect for her.
And I like the zig-zag setting.
I had exchanged 2.5" strips with a friend in Virginia, "hi" Sherry.
As I quilted this quilt I recognized some of her fabrics - which makes it even more special.
I had this cute orange print fabric for the backing.
I used a Denyse Schmidt green plaid for the binding.
I quilted it in an all-over swirl pattern.
Together, Trish & I sewed up 64 blocks.
It's set 8 across and 8 down - 96" square.
I could hear the squeal all the way from Arizona when she opened it!
I guess she loves it!
Beautiful!!!!! I love love it!!

ReplyDeleteSo that's what that squealing sound was! What a neat gift for your daughter, I love it!
ReplyDeleteThis is on my to-do list for the new year. I've collected a basket of 2.5 inch squares and am hoping to get to it soon. Yours is so beautiful! And I love the hugeness of it!
ReplyDeleteI want to make another one, too. I have a basket full of Civil War 2.5" strips - and I want a 30's one, too.....and......the list goes on and on!
DeleteSo worth the wait, I love scrappy trips and yours is so bright and fun, love the backing and binding too! I bet you COULD hear her squeals across the miles:>) Trish is such a darling to help, it is my sincere hope to be as good at piecing as Trish is some day. This quilt is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love it so much, too. I'm in the process of making one for me - much more subdued...but I love the bright ones, too. I love Trish - she's a gem!
DeleteLOVE! this quilt! everything abt. it.
