Meadowland Quilt
My Meadowland scrappy quilt top was completed during my vacation, but the quilting had to wait until I came home.
I had to admit it is not very scrappy, the blocks are big (16" finished) and I only used fabrics from my stash. The colors are bold and bright, the dark blue/navy background is perfect for a charity quilt to a young, adolescent boy, or girl for that part.
The quilting is a simple crosshatch pattern, I feel this is right for this modern quilt.
I found this perfect "quilt holder" in my walk in the forest. The uprooted tree looks like a monster or troll holding my quilt up.
The quilt measures 48" x 64" and is the perfect size for a charity quilt.
There are so my great photo locations in the forest/recreational area. I am very fortunate that it is only a 10 minute walk from my house.
The quilt is backed with a print from Ikea, and the binding is the navy fabric.
This is my sixth charity quilt for the year, and 35th all time for the children's ward at the hospital.
Hooray for a finish and a charity quilt. I love the quilt hanger you found - perfect - as you said.
ReplyDeleteLovely! I love cross-hatch quilting; that is absolutely my go-to quilting design. Love the Monster/Troll arm holding your quilt!!!!
