Flight!

As the end of the year approaches, I have my last finish of the year to share!
 I call this quilt Flight....



 The grey is a new fabric from Studio E....it is a Peppered Cotton in a dark charcoal color.

The Geese are paper foundation pieced.  Two Geese per block with a finished block size of 6 inches square.

   
I felt the design of this quilt lent itself to machine quilting rather than pick stitch.
So I went with a large loopy motif....easy to do and not at all perfect in appearance.  Call me crazy, but I prefer my quilts to look less than perfect...more homemade and lived-in.

I used Aurifil thread for the piecing and the quilting.

     
The backing is this fabulous fabric from Anna Maria Horner's Dowry Collection...AMAZING!!!

 
This quilt is about 42" X 54"....perfect for a lap or a baby....
You can see this one at Sew To Speak....
it will be a class in the New Year!

  Happy Thursday!
