Greg was kind enough to stand on a chair and stretch his arms full length, but I still couldn't get the whole thing! If the yard dries out I'll take it back out there tomorrow. The indoor shots always have more of an orange tint to them than reality.
It's not as long as I'd expected, so it has to be folded down at the pillows. I guess I'll just have to make some matching pillow cases and curtains.
Hard to photograph such a big thing! Not to mention hard to quilt it. Even though it's "done" I'm going to go back and quilt more inside the squares.
I was happy enough with the back, though there are a few wrinkles here and there. This picture shows the left over 6x6 squares, I combined three colored ones with one white in each square, then put them together with the whites in the middle.
The final bits of the four "gift fabrics" are on the right. |
I'm happy with it, and happy there was the pressure to actually finish it! Now I can take it to the guild for show and tell next week, too!
Doesn't it feel good to have it done! It's a lovely quilt, can't wait to see it in person.
