Kelli brought a quilt home to be quilted last week. Â Can you believe she brought it after she brought her huge stack of unfinished UFOs? Â Yep another quilt top finish for Kelli.
Well I had a good backing for this quilt so I popped it on the frame. Â The quilt is Bonnie Hunter’s Scrappy Mountain Majesties (free pattern here). Â She made hers in a diagonal setting with Civil War reproduction fabrics….I LOVE it.
It was on the frame for a few days with no progress and finally I squeezed in some time to get working on it.
Kelli made this by altering the pattern just a bit. Â Rather than cut the blocks at 8 1/2″, she cut hers at 6 1/2″. Â I just love that even though the block is cut into strips, once they are sewn back together the stripes still line up.
I spent a lot of quilting time checking out the fun and interesting designs that came about because of the quilt block design. Â Check out the diagonal pattern on the left.
Hubby and I both really like this quilt. Â Kelli thinks she is going to gift it. Â I keep trying to convince her to get her spare bedroom set up and use the quilt in it.
So far…no luck. Â I have a feeling that once she holds it and sees it finished she just might change her mind.
I am not letting this one languish in the binding pile. Â This one is going to get bound and completely finished. Â It’s too pretty to wait any longer.
I love this quilt!
Beautiful quilt! I want to know how she got ALL her stripes to match so perfectly? Wow, great job.
I LOVE is quilt! Nice job!
Beautiful quilt! Another design of BH that I want to sew. I like the idea of making the blocks smaller.
Definitely a keeper, Kelli! Incredible job….LOVE it!
