Quilt for Leigh, top is done!

It’s done, it’s yuuuge, it’s wrinkled, there are threads all over it. But it is done!Love the chickens surrounded by the pineapple blocks, and then there are the bees.Depending on the fabric choices, pineapple block looks very different. I’m happy with the low volume in the background, it unifies the scrappiness of the quilt. Here are the bees, so cute.

My friend Ruth is going to be quilting a large quilt herself, so this will have to wait a few weeks until her Longarm is free again. That is fine, I need a break from this. I will probably be full of fresh ideas about how to actually quilt it, having let it sit for a while.This quilt is too big to try and piece the back, so I ordered some extra wide fabric from Connecting Threads, from the sale section, naturally.

Yes, I am very impressed with myself, a full queen size quilt, not something I do often. Let’s be honest, I never make quilts this size, probably won’t again for quite a while. Every quilt is it’s own experience, I learned a lot from this one.
