Interlock Quilt for BQF 2016

Amy Ellis is once again hosting the Blogger's Quilt Festival. This online event showcases so many wonderful quilts from the blogging world.  This is a great opportunity to share finished quilts, see what everyone's working on, and discover new blogs.

This is my king size Interlock quilt which I'm entering into the large quilts category.

You can read more about this quilt here.
The lovely orange peel quilting was done by AB Quilting Studio.
Fabric line is Persimmon by Basic Grey.

You can find my other BQF entry here.

Thank you for stopping by my blog, I hope you visit again soon.  Don't forget to visit all the categories of the festival!

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.

Interlock Update

I've been making a lot of progress with my king sized Interlock quilt.  This is one of my first quarter Finish-A-Long projects.  So far I've got everything cut...all 895 pieces, 45 blocks worth.  I've sewed and pressed all of the B part strips and sewed most of the A part strips.  I'm going to keep them separate so that I can lay each part out. I'm using two Jelly Rolls plus other yardage for the prints so I want to make sure everything gets evenly distributed.  After this, I'll start sewing the strips to each other...this is a LONG project!
