A Finished Quilt

I have thoroughly enjoyed working on this custom quilt this week, everything about it seemed to flow.  The fabrics all worked so well together, the linen pieced without frustration, and even the quilting was relaxing (there's a first!). 

The finished quilt measures 35.5 inches x 55.5 inches

The back of the quilt is also pieced and compliments the quilt top.  Most of the fabrics used are also featured in the front of the quilt.  I would even go as far as to suggest this quilt is fully reversible, I really love the back!

The binding fabric was suggested by my customer Jenn, and frames the quilt well.  It is a really vibrant red fabric and contrast so well with the linen/cotton blend used in quilt top.

The binding fabric arrived from the US just as I was finishing the last of the quilting. (This is not pre-made binding).  The red binding fabric with white polka dots is Michael Miller - Minnie Ta Dot purchased from MaterialGal on Etsy.

Even the mitered corners behaved as they should.  Machine stitching the binding is now standard practice, and has become a process that I enjoy rather than dread.

This quilt is destined for an adopted baby boy or girl, and Jenn I pray that all your dreams come true soon.  It has been a pleasure to work with you, and hope to have been true to your vision.
