Great Granny

78x90
Great Granny
She started out as a sew-a-long  in July 2012 with Lori Holt from Bee in My Bonnet. (although I pieced my blocks a little differently), became a UFO and then became my September goal to complete it for Lovely Year of Finishes. 

It is going to replace the 30's reproduction quilt I currently have on my bed...

...now that it is finished, washed and smells of the great outdoors. 




This blue back is showing up a little brighter than it really is. It's more of a light blue-gray - sort of the color of my bedroom walls.  Each square was free motion quilted with a flower and the sashings were loops and where the sashings met I quilted another small flower all on my plain Jane DSM.  I'm glad the weather turned a little cooler when I was quilting it. I don't have A/C in this old farmhouse and it gets a little warm quilting a large quilt.

Another UFO bites the dust.

This quilt is a beauty, and it's so big. Wow, I could see it becoming a wip in my house too.

Absolutely fabulous! I was just looking at Lori's tute today on the granny. A bit of waste on her version but do-able! Congrats on the stunning finish!

Wonderful finish, very pretty! I know how much time/work you put into stitching and quilting. Worth it wasn't it ;-) ?
