This is the largest quilt I’ve ever made. It’s a generous twin size at 74″x90″. (See that toque poking out above the quilt? HaHa, makes me smile:) This was for a custom order. I used an entire fat quarter bundle of Hope Valley.
I used up every last piece on the back, together with Essex Linen blend in natural. Love the back of this quilt SO much.
For years I've dreamed of writing a book about quilting. The type of book that I've felt is completely missing from the quilting world. More photos and inspiration, and less technical details and pages of writing. I've tried to accomplish that with my first book, which is self published and full of quilts, simple patterns, lots of talk about the quilts... and well, maybe that's enough for this paragraph! Visit the blog post for more details!
NOTE! My book is now available on Amazon as well!
Wow! This is stunning! I don't think I'd ever be able to part with something that beautiful!
I love it too–the back just as much as the front. In fact, I'd be tempted to use the back as the front (uh, does that make any sense? You know what I mean…)
Gorgeous! I love your fabric choices, and you can't go wrong with a simple pattern like that–love squares! And if you need to refill your fabric stash, my blog is hosting a giveaway this weekend at http://www.lindsaysews.com!
It's gorgeous!
LOVE this! And I love the back as much or more.
I agree, I love the backing–just a gorgeous pop of color to compliment the front. Nice work!
Wow – this is amazing! how long did it take? I cn't quite muster up the courage to attempt a full size quilt yet!
It just calls out "snuggle"; love it!
it is so very beautiful! Great job!
Lucky recipients! Love the Essex linen, and those prints are luscious!!

It's beautiful! I love the simple and colorful style! Well done ;P
Oooh, I love it!
I made a hope valley quilt for my bed using strips, and I think that I much prefer yours with squares. The back is beautiful, too. 🙂
I love it, especially the back! Piecing the back really made this quilt 🙂
Yes it's beautiful. that Hope Valley is growing on me…
Awesome quilt. I love this fabric line, and the simple pattern really shows off the prints.
Back and front so beautiful, lucky person receiving it.
the back is gorgeous
Wow! I've never liked Hope Valley but this quilt has officially changed my mind! I love the simple squares on the front and the beautiful stripes on the back. It's perfection!!
I just found this on Pinterest and I LOVE this quilt!! If I find it on your Etsy . . . LOVE it that much!! 😉
This is so gorgeous – one of my favorite lines! I'm new to your blog and really enjoying it. 🙂
I love Hope Valley! I just finished a Hope Valley quil that's similar, but just of the Fiesta colorway. I have all my squares cut out for another patchwork in Piney Woods. You've done a great job – it looks lovely 🙂

very very beautiful!
I know this comment is, like, three years late, but this is one amazing quilt. I wish I had thought to use my entire Hope Valley in a single quilt as you did. What a fabulous way to capture an entire line!
