It was a log cabin pattern with stars at the intersections of the sashing. We went to a quilt store and Hannah chose the fabrics she wanted for it. We also had to go to JoAnn's to get a few more fabrics.
I worked on it quite a while. It wasn't hard, but it was very time-consuming!!! I bought a sheet for the backing. The quilt was 95"x 95". It took Bill and I both to put it on the frame! That was fun- not! The quilting was a learning experience. The thread kept breaking on me. I finally realized (after watching You Tube videos on loading a quilt onto a frame) that I had the quilt stretched on their too tightly. When I loosened the tension it did much better! I did an allover meander. It took an afternoon (on and off) to get it quilted, so I was thrilled!!!
Tim, Hannah, Jimmy and Jason came here for Christmas, so I gave the quilt to them then. I do believe that they were really thrilled with it. I got a picture from Hannah the next day showing it on their bed already! Yea!!! Now I just need to make some pillow shams and throw pillows...
p.s. I finished the pillow shams and pillows and sent them to Tim and Hannah. Here is a picture of the whole thing on their bed:
And here is a picture showing a malfunction in the quilt (aka, Lucky sleeping underneath it!! Tim says their cat just loves the quilt!! |
