It was a bit long run considering I started it during MSBHQAL last year. I wanted to do this QAL and I talked with my friend about it. She runs fabric store and we made an arrangement. She sent me her fabrics here and I got to play with them. It's now on display in her shop and it was also part of her booth at the local quilt show.
It is actually 2in1 since the B sides turned out pretty too. I used all the leftovers and put it together as jelly roll kind of quilt. Nothing got wasted. I even created matching cushions from the scraps.
It was quilted by local professional and I couldn't be happier with it. I added white line to each side and it makes a pretty detail don't you think? I went with grey binding but white was in consideration as well.
During the process making I had to set up designer's wall as I needed to see and plan the colors ahead. It was a great experience and I was really proud of myself to see it on display.
You can read about the process making here, here and here. Bside can be found here and the big reveal in February here. Quick morning sunrise picture ended up as one of my fav ever.
The size of this quilt is 42.5 x 73" so I'm entering it into small quilt category.
Beautiful!
