good morning sunshine.

It is hard to believe that the king sized quilt is finished, and all of it's crinkly goodness is on our bed.  I feel like a new momma photographing her precious little bundle of joy.
a few stats:
there are 440 - 5" squares 
machine pieced
hand quilted using perle 8 cotton thread
(the quilting was done loosely)
binding was first sewn on by machine
and then stitched by hand

made with love

  8. Wonderful quilt Trish. You have inspired me to try big stitch and just about 30 min. until my little quilt is finished. Binding on and then I will post. Glad to hear you used #8, I tried #12 on one block and pulled it out, you couldn't see it. I like this way of quilting, and how quilty it feels. Thank you again Trish.

  11. Oh Trish, it's wonderful! It looks so beautiful on your bed in the sunshine and I see some fabrics I recognize too:>) This just goes to show that a quilt of simple squares can be just as pretty as some of the fancier designs. I need to get your source for that perle cotton thread, I have never seen it.
