Blue Squares Finish

I started this quilt back in 2017 by cutting it out at a CQFA retreat, I assembled it in 2019, and had it quilted in 2023 by the fabulous long-arm quilter, Colleen Granger.  I finished it in March this year by sewing down the binding. Just in time to give it to my DH for our anniversary.

Here's a couple close ups to see the great quilting and enjoy the Kaffe Fassett fabrics.

I do wish that I'd used a different background fabric, as it doesn't show off the flower fabrics as well as something less forward would have. But as I didn't have as many florals to use as the pattern asked for and substituted in the solids and strips it evens the contrast out. 

Blue Squares Binding

 

A nice large box arrived on my doorstep this week, and inside was the quilted Blue Squares, coming back from the fabulous long-arm quilter, Colleen Granger. I started this quilt back in 2017 at a CQFA retreat, but began assembling it in 2019. 

I'm so excited with how the quilt pattern I chose looks with the fabrics.  And I'm very pleased that I'll be able to gift this to my DH for our anniversary on Sunday.

I mean, wow, look at how the swirls and leaves and flower shapes work with the swirls and leaves and flower shapes. I think the key is the sizing of the pattern so that it's big enough to suit the bigger scale of most of the fabrics.

Once I get the binding sewn down, I'll take an official picture.
