This is one of those quilts that I saw and had to make. The top was super fun to make and turned out great. I'm in love with the pattern. It was made from a charm pack. I'm loving charm packs right now. I love that you can get a whole bunch of different fabrics to make a well matching scrappy quilt.
The quilt is backed with fleece. It makes it a light weight, but warm and snugly quilt.
I started quilting this quilt months ago on my mom's new Singer Confidence Quilter sewing machine. In the sashing I used the curvy stitch. Unfortunately I didn't get finished and a couple weeks later the mother board on her machine failed. Luckily it was still under warranty (by only a couple of days). She waited months to get her machine back (a machine that she didn't really want back anyway). Finally the people said they would just give her a new machine. She told them she really didn't want that machine. She was unhappy with it's features as well as the fact that it couldn't sew over a seam. They said she could upgrade, but the dealer she bought it from didn't have what she wanted so they gave her her money back! It was God sent that it all went down that way. She was able to get a new even better machine!
Well, we both were. Hee, hee. :0) I'll tell you more later. For now, I'll just say I was able to use my new machine to finish the quilting (it has a curvy stitch).
Not sure who this quilt is going to. Do you want it? Let me know.
