A Finished Lady of the Lake

Warning, warning picture heavy post coming up!

 The Lady of the Lake Quilt

Finished quilt measures 45 inches x 45 inches.

The Lady of the Lake quilt is finished in all its glory - backing, quilting and binding complete.

Basting took place eventually late Friday evening after much procrastination, but the usual basting discomfort was much alleviated by the use of a nifty notion recommended by Cheryl from Naptime Quilter. 


The Kwik Klip helps to close basting pins without effort, so no sore or pricked fingers, although as karma would have it I scored the biggest paper cut on the weekend at work - yikes why does that have to hurt so much?!  (Kwik Klip YouTube Video here - although I did end up using the Kwik Klip as I felt most comfortable myself).


The back of the quilt features some rather minimalist piecing, a really simple but modern design using left over solid fabrics.   The above picture of the quilt back also depicts the quilting lines rather well; keeping it simple and no fuss.


I thoroughly enjoy piecing with small patchwork units, and I do believe I still have many more Half Square Triangle units left in me!  I am not finished yet.


I have updated my Etsy Store, where if you are interested, you can find The Lady of the Lake quilt listed for sale (here).  Happy browsing!  SOLD
