My final quilt finished for 2012 - my granny squares quilt. This quilt has been a work in progress since I started my blog, and I guess it would be fair to say I have taken my time with it. This quilt represents a few firsts for me - it is the first quilt I made using an online tutorial (this one), the first quilt I blogged about, the first quilt I used a solid background for, and the first quilt I free-motion quilted.
I am very very happy with how this quilt turned out. The design has transformed fabric that I wasn't really in love with into something very charming, and I think the large meandering quilting adds texture that really works with the shabby chic look of this quilt - and I haven't even washed it yet so I am sure it will crinkle up more.
I also love the backing and binding - both from Lecien's flower sugar range. I took this quilt away on holiday with me to hand stitch the binding on, and it was really nice to be able to take the time to do some relaxed hand work.
I hope your end of year finishes have been as satisfying as mine!
I love your quilt, so fresh and lovely. This is a great finish for the end of the year.
