It's a Hoot! ~ A Finished Quilt

Of course I welcome custom quilt orders; but they can be tricky business!  Much discussion and negotiation needs to go into ensuring that the customer's vision for their quilt is exactly the same as what I am about to create.


Now and again a custom order comes along that falls into place without much ado; and truly this quilt was a dream to create right from the first email inquiry to finish!


And although I can call this my creation it was almost entirely my customer's vision!  From quilt top design, choice of fabrics, backing, quilting and binding this project was created as specified.  


My customer's vision was a joy to piece and quilt.  It's a Hoot by Momo for Moda is a lovely fabric range that I had already stashed in my own fabric collection and I truly enjoyed working with the colors and printed designs.


I even love the bright red binding to frame the quilt.  It would not have been my first choice of color for the binding but it's sits just perfectly; especially as a frame around the light blue backing fabric.  Love!


The finished quilt measures 60 inches x 75 inches and is pieced with 180 squares each measuring 5 1/2 inches (including seam allowances).

Reading for shipping!
