A finished quilt!!!
It measures approximately 45 inches across.
It's machine pieced and hand quilted.
I think it took about a month to quilt.
This was a lot of fun to make.
I had originally planned on quilting free-hand as I went.
I quickly changed my mind due to the fact I can't stitch straight on my own.
Haha.
I also wanted each square to be different.
For the most part I stuck to that.
The exception came with the little triangles.
Each one of those has a star.
I used a wide variety of things to mark the quilt: old drafting templates,
bowls, french curves, cookie cutters, and even the quilting hoop.
When I couldn't come up with an idea to quilt I asked the boys for help.
They came up with some neat patterns to use.
I went with diamonds for the smaller border and clam shells for the larger border.
Wind is helpful when you're taking pictures...
I love the festive candy backing.
Some of the cookie cutter blocks.
One of our favorite cookie cutter shapes!
We really like the way it turned out.
In its new home.
