It’s a funny feeling. I’ve got so many finished projects to show you right now that I’m just randomly choosing quilts to blog about. Finishing up all these UFO’s has a double benefit, since it fits in with my nesting syndrome as well as giving me something to blog about once the baby is born. (any time now!)
I made this quilt top almost a year ago now, and then I later decided to add more cream colored squares around the edges to make it a queen size. It’s destined for someone special but she hasn’t received it yet because I want to add an embroidered label.
This is one of the three quilts that I splurged and got quilted at a long arm quilter. What an awesome experience! Only thing is that I really can’t afford to quilt if I get into the habit of this, so I guess it’s reserved for special occasions or special quilts! I really do enjoy quilting my own quilts, but when I see the beautiful even stitches and designs… This time I found a quilter in Calgary who I will definitely be using again.
So what more should I say about this quilt? The squares were 5″x5″. It ended up approximately queen size, although I haven’t measured it after I washed it.

Beautifully made. I didn't realise it was so large at first.
Lyndy at Stitchbird says
I love it – must keep stashing more low volume fabrics as I would love to make on of these.
Dresden Lane says
It's gorgeous! Really well done. I know what you mean about the expense of longarm quilting- that is why I rent one, but I know that's not available everywhere.

I just adore this! The tones are soothing but not too quiet. Nice call on the longarming. Keep showing us more! And have a fab weekend.

Another love! What kind of batting do you use? Your quilts always look so snuggly!

I love your pixelated heart quilts, and this one looks so good in 'bed size'!. Great idea to keep a backlog of quilts, all the best for the arrival of your new baby!!

I heart it. Especially with the swirl quilting.
Unknown says
I love it. I've been wanting to make a heart quilt for awhile but I have so many of my own WIP's that I just can't do it yet. Maybe I'll make a wall hanging size soon.

I shared this today on my blog's Facebook page. Great quilt!
Pennie says
This is beautiful and you just answered a question for me – would larger squares still look pixelated. I know what my next quilt will be now, so thank you.
