I had a goal to complete this quilt by today and I squeaked it in! I had to excuse myself from our guest that came over for the afternoon so I could finish the binding, but it is done!
This is the largest quilt I have machine quilted to date at 64 x 83 and it caused some frustration. I did loopy loops I think that once it is washed all the little issues I see will wash away. I used the yellow brick road pattern, materials from my stash and randomly collected the first of June when I decided I wanted to do some Red-White-Blue stuff.
The back is mostly some large red/white dots from stash with some others pieced in.
I named this Lowden Park. When I grew up that is where the 4th of July fireworks were and while working the quilt I thought how perfect it would be to throw down on the grass, lay down on and watch the sparkling sky.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
I love it!! What a great name for the quilt! Happy 4th to you!
