Graduation Quilt

 This spring I was commissioned to make a graduation quilt.  I love the way it turned out. 



 The parents of the graduate had an embroidery company embroider the bears, the football in the middle, and a message in the bottom corner.

I did some appliqué for the BR, LND, and Class of 2014 blocks.  Usually I do raw edge applique, but this time I did a satin stitch around the applique to make it go better with the embroidered blocks.  I must say I did a pretty good job for never doing the satin stitch before. :)



I put minky on the back and I quilted it with strait lines.  This is the biggest quilt I've ever quilted.  At first it was challenging. But then as I got the hang of the "fluff and stuff" method of quilting it became quite doable.  I might even try this big of quilt again. :)
