Big Finish!

I'm happy to reveal my Interlock quilt today.  This was literally a big finish, ending up at 110" by 108" overall.  I'm not even going to tell you how long it took to hand bind this thing, talk about a labor of love.  You can read more about the start of this quilt here and here.





I used some of the leftovers from the jelly rolls to make a 24" pillow sham.  It's quilted in a smaller orange peel to match the big quilt.  I was considering binding this pillow, but the pattern was busy so I opted for a nice topstitched edge instead.




Quilt Stats

Pattern:  Interlock by Amy Friend (Adjusted to King Size)
Finished size:  110" by 108"
Quilted by AB Quilting Studio in Orange Peel pattern, edge to edge

The quilt and sham are finishes for my 2nd Quarter 2016 Finish-A-Long list, yeah!  I hope you've joined and are making progress on your finishes as well.

  6. Oh my goodness, this is beautiful. I passed on buying Persimmon, but now that I see this quilt, I'm regretting it. I love the palette paired with all that

  9. It's just lovely - the colors, the pattern. And I LOVE using scraps to make something else that's useable. Great job.

  13. I love this quilt ~ the fabrics, the orange-peel quilting, the BIGness of it all! I've been thinking about what to do for a quilt on our king-size bed and I think I could do this. Thanks for the inspiration!
