The quilt measures 60 inches x 72 inches
Complete with a pieced backing and hours of quilting straight lines. Most of the quilting lines were straight lines on either side of a seam line, or diagonal lines through the large blocks. I also ended up doing some "in the ditch" quilting which still requires a high level of effort and concentration!
And there was lots of it (machine stitched, as usual):
I have thoroughly enjoyed piecing this quilt, choosing the fabrics, preparing the blocks, cutting and rearranging them until I was happy with the layout. I can highly recommend this easy piecing design.
Thank you for stopping by,

this is beautiful! thanks for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteThat red binding is awesome.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Rita. I really love the warm, fall colors in this one. It feels like fall this morning over here on the other side of the planet!
ReplyDeleteThe fall colors in this quilt are so pretty and I am anxious for fall here in California, but apparently it is supposed to be about 107 degrees tomorrow. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is beautiful!
What kind of Machine are you using? Are you using a fancy quilting frame or just the roll and sew method?
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful! I love the striped binding and the quilting is wonderful. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThis is a really nice quilt. I love the colors, and also how it is quilted. Really nice job.

ReplyDeleteGreat quilt!!! Thank-you for sharing the directions, I was looking for a pattern for a new "Quilt of Valor" quilt I wanted to make and send. I had lots of Patriotic fabric bits and pieces. I'm having fun putting it together. thanks again!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not one to have my socks blown off by binding. However. That binding just made the earth move...
ReplyDeleteThat is absolutely superb. Beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteLove it!
That is a beautiful quilt, and I love all the straight line quilting!! Really spectacular!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect binding! Gee, you would have thought she planned it that way... It's too late now, but it occurs to me that one interesting thing would have been to throw in one block in the blue/green colourway.
ReplyDeleteAnother beauty!!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I love this one. It's beautiful
ReplyDeleteI'm usually just a lurker, but I had to tell you that I love this one! Bento Box quilts don't normally appeal to me, but this one rocks it! I love the color choices, piecing, quilting and binding. The whole thing is just great! I always love your work, but this one brought me out of lurker-ville to tell you! ;)
