Back in March, I decided that I'd finally get Macy's quilt finished. It's been a very long time coming. I couldn't think how many years ago I'd pieced the top, so I asked my friend Google. The fabric line used in most of the quilt is "Zany for Zinnias" by Jennifer Sampou for Robert Kaufman, and was part of Electric Quilt's 2003 Stash software. 2003 (!!!!) as in NINE years ago. So uhmmm, yeah, it was time to get it done.
I sent it off to my super fantastic longarm quilter friend Chelsea. You want a girl who can quilt the pants off of something? Chelsea is your girl.
Here's my mom doing the wave with the quilt. She was so worried about dropping it into the not-so-warm Pacific Ocean!
I used a Debbie Mumm Easter themed backing, with yellow binding. Coincidentally, Macy's favourite colour is yellow. Something I had no way of knowing way back when I pieced this quilt for her!
Very pretty and well done you for finishing it!

ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing it up, Katie! I know that must feel good to get it done. I don't blame your mom for being afraid of dropping it in the ocean. I would have been petrified!

ReplyDeleteLovely quilt, congrats for the finish after only 9 years (that is sincere, I have UFO's older than that).
ReplyDeleteKatie, it's a wonderful quilt! Looks like this is the week for finishing up UFOs - seems like everyone's doing it (but me!) Whoop whoop!!
ReplyDeleteLove the yellow binding Katie! So glad you got it done, Macy must be over the moon.
ReplyDeleteYay for a project finish! I'm sure it will be totally snuggled to bits in no time. Lovely quilt and lovely pictures...I need to live by large bodies of water and right now I'm missing it. I'll live in your pictures for a while and it'll be ok.
