On Friday, I went to Joanne's and loaded my niece Raney's graduation quilt, Raney Days & Mondays. You can see my post about the fabrics and the piecing for this Disappearing Nine-Patch quilt HERE.
It looks huge on the machine, but it is really only about 60x90, a long twin size. I did iron it - promise! - but I had to fold it up in the bag for transport, and it sure doesn't look like an iron ever came near it :*) It quilted out just fine though!
This is the fabric Laurie (Raney's mom and my sister) chose for the back...
Raney's baby quilt was a multi-colored polka-dot like this, so Laurie felt this piece would make the quilt even more special. I think it is the perfect fabric :*) Doesn't the quilting show up nice on it? So cute!
My favorite panto - Daisies Galore. Simple and fun and a little flirty - just like our sweet Raney! :*)
Here is the whole quilt (this was taken before quilting).....Don't you just love the design the Disappearing Nine-Patch makes? And it is SO easy too :*)
I have the binding all made and ready to apply, which I will do this week. And I also need to make a label for it so Raney will have the provenance of the quilt if she ever needs it someday :*)
Also completed this weekend - this block for the Promises & Borders BOM....finally!
I really like it laid out on top of Raney's quilt...
I'm thinking I may re-think the layout for this quilt! I really love these colors surrouding it and giving it a lot of color punch! Jenny's design calls for a 3-fabric sashing & borders, but this peek at what a bright scrappy sashing might look like is enticing me to experiment.... stay tuned! =^..^=
And I completed my Twister Tree - woohoo!!! But I'll wait until another post to unveil that because I have lots of photos to share & I don't want to overload this post :*) However, I will leave you with this little tease of the tiny tree our instructor made with her scraps from her big tree....

Beautiful woek, Teresa.
ReplyDeleteThat is a most lovely quilt.
ReplyDeleteLove that backing fabric, as well as the panto. :) Your BOM block is super sweet. And that teeny-tiny twister Christmas tree is very cool! It looks so perfect, but those squares have to be teensy.
ReplyDeleteOH! I love that you incorporated one of the P&B blocks as the label! What a clever idea! And one of my favorite Scriptures, too!! (I think we had this discussion!) She is going to be so excited when she sees this -- lovely!! :)
ReplyDeleteThe tiny tree is wonderful!! I can't wait to see more.
ReplyDeleteRaney's quilt is awesome. I really like the disapearing 9 patch. Definitely something to go on my ever expanding quilty to-do list.
Have a great day.
Always, Queenie
Beautiful quilt for your niece--and I love that panto. It is very cute.
ReplyDeleteYour stitched block is another sweet finish. It does look good on that quilt. Hmmm!
Love the twister tree. Very festive! Can't wait to see what you have done with yours.
Your niece's quilt is perfect from the design to the panto. It's beautiful!

ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL!!! Raney will be so pleased when she gets it. She leaves thursday and she can't come home for three weeks. I am not looking forward to leaving her there altho I am very excited about her going to college. Thanks for making her such a beuatiful "blankie" to have with her there.

ReplyDeleteLove Raney's quilt. The colors are wonderful--and while, in general, I just like polka dots, I think it's great that this quilt relates to her baby quilt as well. The daisy quilting pattern does look great on this quilt.
