And one last finish to record for 2019! I just sewed the last of the binding on this one yesterday.
The pattern is Aunt Bet’s Quilt, by Frankie and Ray. Truly a lovely and enjoyable pattern to make. So simple, but works with so many fabrics. I definitely want to make this one again!
This is one of those few quilts that I loved my color choices all the way through, and still love the finished quilt today!
I hand quilted it in fans and used a double gauze on the back and Quilter’s Dream Poly batting. This makes for a dreamy and puffy texture to the finished quilt.
The finished quilt measures approximately 48″x60″, which is the perfect size for a smaller lap quilt.
Edited to Add: Adding this to the Fourth Quarter Finishalong. Here’s my post with the original list of quilts to finish.

Oh my! That is so lovely. I can almost feel how soft this is. Hand quilting was a great idea! Inspires me to try it on a smaller quilt!

Your version of this quilt makes me want to race up to the sewing room and start cutting for one of my own!! It turned out SEW lovely.

I've enjoyed a little flurry of pattern sales this week, so today I thought I'd google search….and here you are! I have to extend my sincere thanks for the link, and for your delightfully kind words! A quilt is always a reflection of it's maker, and your eye for colour means this one is such a beauty. I am in love with the puffy stitchy back as well, it looks so soft and inviting. Thank you again! Jo x

You have the most amazing talent for combining fabric. I try to study your quilts to learn some secrets, but I think you just have the gift…

I love your quilt! Looks so soft and cozy. I've been wanting to try double gauze for backing….I'm curious, do you prewash it?
