As promised, an actual finished project! I actually made this quilt for someone else, but now that it is finished I am having a hard time parting with it. Although I have decided to part with it if she decides she loves it and will cherish it in her home as much as I would in mine :)

Details… The fabrics are all from Anna Maria’s Good Folks line, except for the binding which is a Heather Bailey fabric (I think) and the back is a Kona Cotton solid (I have no clue which color).  I wrote down that the finished size is approx 68 x 78 inches, although I wrote that months ago before I actually finished it (and I am too lazy to actually measure it again, so let’s go with that).

It was a pretty easy quilt to put together, since I just used 24 fat quarters and cut them each into 2 rectangles (using the leftovers for piecing the back). An easy design, but with the bold colors and patterns I wanted something that would showcase those and I think it works pretty well.

The front…

I was just going to make the back solid, but I discovered I didn’t have quite enough fabric. So I pieced together the leftovers from the fabrics I used on the front and mixed those in. I love the back almost as much (if not a tiny bit more) as the front!

Of course around here the ultimate stamp of approval comes from Pounce & I think he approves… (For some reason both cats love any quilt that I make even more than store bought blankets/quilts.)

See I can’t really give it away, right? Pounce would be devastated! :)

Now I just need to finish a few more of the projects in my w.i.p. pile before we move… My fabric stash has actually outgrown my fairly large fabric cupboard so finishing up some of those projects would clear a little space in it, which would be a good thing.
