I started this one back in October. I needed something that was easy and gratifying. Plus I wanted to practice doing larger quilts on my little home machine. One of my big resolutions this year is to finish some of my outstanding UFO's (unfinished objects). I wanted to start with this one since it's HUGE and it's freezing here.
To finish it I ordered Linen Mochi Dot in Putty for the back and Gingersnap in Marionberry for the binding from Handmade is Heartmade on etsy. The batting is my usual Warm & Natural. I usually try to get it cut off the roll, but this deal on Amazon was too good to pass up.
While it's fairly simple in design, it was the largest quilt I have finished. It was challenging to get under the arm of my machine, but by the end I was getting the hang of the "stuff and fluff"method down.

I'm thinking of doing another one with a whole bunch of Cotton & Steel charms from all their different collections, a real celebration of all of their patterns. Watching this one come together so fast was just what I needed to re-motivate me for a great year of new quilting experiences and growth. I'll call it my 2015 warm up!
Finnick is obsessed with this one. If you follow me on Instagram, you know he's been curling up in it throughout the entire process. As soon as I spread it on the bed to take some photos, he was up on top of it rolling around and smiling. It only took 20 minutes before he was passed out on top of it.
I dont usually like quilts but this is beautiful!
