I just realized that I never posted the photos of my mom's Alaska Quilt. I think it turned out pretty nice! I can't take all the credit as she usurped my sewing machine when she was visiting and did all the cutting and most of the piecing herself. Then I just finished it off for her. She collected all the fabrics while on her Alaskan Cruise and wanted a quilt to serve as a souvenir of the trip.
Alaska Quilt:
Planning a lay out
All pieced together
The lovely front.
A fun plaid for the back.
I bound it in the same plaid as the back. It turned out just the right size to sit on the whole top of a queen size bed without any overhang. It looks lovely in her house. I still have a little bit of the fabric left so I may make up a table runner or wall hanging to go with it.
What a lovely quilt Leslie !
ReplyDeleteI may have to look into for the kids.

It turned out great. I have always wanted to make a quilt but I have the patience of a gnat.
ReplyDeleteThanks Michelle! I think it was a great way to get a vacation memory:D
ReplyDeleteCatherine, I find the hardest part is seeing a big project all the way to the finish. Its more fun to start a billion projects :D
