Puddle Quilt Finished!

Wohoo! I finished puddle quilt.  I stalled a little on this once I finished the top, but I quilted it up and here it is.

I started this quilt back in the beginning of May, just after I finished Cindy's Quilt.  I was nervous working with all solids, it was out of my comfort zone, but, I am very happy with how it turned out.  I did straight line quilting, echoing the triangle sections.  The solids are a variety of Kona cottons and Bela solids.  The back is Tweedy by P&B Textiles.  And I used Warm and Natural cotton batting.

Puddle Quilt measures about 66"x66".  The pattern is Curious Nature by David Butler, the same one I used for Cindy's Quilt.

This quilt will be the perfect snuggly quilt.  I have not decided what I will do with it yet, it may become a wedding gift for one of my kayaking friends.  It fits for our sport :)

And my little helper was here again.  She behaved and did not walk across my quilts as I was photographing them this morning.  

Ok... just one more in front of the hydrangea.

Bloggers Quilt Festival

I am so excited to be able to participate in my first Bloggers Quilt Festival hosted by Amy's Creative Side.  I am entering Cindy's quilt in to the festival.  This has to be my favorite quilt that I have made so far! (And the biggest!)  I made this for my sister as her birthday / welcome home to NJ gift.

My original post about the finished quilt is here.  

It was actually pretty windy when I was
trying to get pictures that day

My sister sent me this picture after I gave it to her.  I didn't realize exactly how big I made it.  (She had only been there a week when she sent me the pic and I just had to share it... love how it matches the room!).  I am so glad she loves it.
