It's taken longer than it should to blog about this quilt. I sewed the last stitches in the binding on January 1, but the end of break precluded a photo session. Even this one is lame, but at least I have a photo.
This quilt began with a layer cake of Moda's Blessings I won from Edna at
Inch by Inch Quilting. I loved the fabrics, but they don't really "go" with most of my stash, so I didn't want to separate them. Miss Spunky wanted a quilting project over break, so I decided we could cut these into charms and make a lap quilt for her teacher. I did have to add 4-5" squares of a green that
almost matches in order to eke out one last block. Spunky selected the pairs and layout. I think our favorite fabrics were the almost-solids that looked like leather in texture.
My original plan had been straight line quilting, then a simple meander, but I finally went with a scroll meander. I love how it looks and I'm very happy to have made Spunky happy.
The finished quilt is roughly 54" x 63", and Spunky gave it to her teacher for a Christmas gift.

Nice quilt and I love the swirly quilting.
Very pretty. Spunky did a good job with the lay out. It turned out beautifully.
