I recently completed this beauty for Reneta. It is really hard to appreciate the scale of this quilt from pictures. I have lovingly been referring to it as "the beast" while it has been in my possession as it measures 112" X 122"!
Reneta made this as wedding present for her niece who has a king size bed. Here you can see it covering my queen bed. If you are curious or want to recreate this quilt, just cut 5,832 - 2" squares and you are off to the races!
Reneta is normally a "no feathers" girl, but when she brought this out to me, she thought it actually needed some, so I was happy to oblige. The color placement in this quilt is the reverse of what you most often see, so the quilting plan needed to be a little unique as well. We decided on straight line in the colored squares and black chain, with feathers in the beige.
I like the pattern that emerged on the solid backing.
This quilt was truly a labour of love and I'm happy I got to play a part in its journey.
Wow, amazing in colour, size and quilting. A GRAND finish all round.
