Never so happy to finish the last stitch of quilting! I did not time it, but I did see at least 6 episodes of Dowton Abby plus a couple other shows, so my estimate is over 9 hours.
There are 1764 squares on this ScrappyTripAlong top which I completed Jan 18, 2013.
The border and binding are Kona Cotton Ceries which is a perfect berry color. I need to get some more as I used every last bit.
It backed with a zebra print that my mom de-stashed to me, with a strip of solids pieced to make the backing big enough, as this quilt is a biggie, 95x95, perfect for our queen sized bed.
Someone besides me likes it too!
Great quilt! Love the cerise border fabric. It does the job perfectly.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've seen a Scrappy Trip Along quilt I haven't loved. Yet I haven't made one. Must remedy that situation forthwith!
ReplyDeleteI love scrappy quilts. I'm getting ready to quilt my own scrappy trips quilt top. I hope mine turns out as good looking as yours.
ReplyDeleteI just pulled fabrics to make one of these for my son. Yours makes me want to start on it NOW! Beautiful job!
ReplyDeleteI cannot tell you how much this cheered me up with just one glance. Beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is truly stunning Diane! You're right about the border, it's the perfect berry color, and probably for just about anything 'cause some colors just roll that way. Well done!
ReplyDeleteLove all the colors!!! I bet you think now that it was really worth it!! Great job!
ReplyDeleteFabulous! I'm making one in batik, but I only have four blocks so far. Looks like I may have a ways to go! Love your colors and your border is perfect!
