I’ve shared peeks of this quilt previously but this is the first time you are seeing it in its entirety. Of course you all recognize this quilt as the quilt I had intended to donate to Japan Project modern–however, with that project no longer taking place this quilt is currently residing in my family room until I decide where it will end up. =)
This quilt is made up of a combo of Flea Market Fancy and Katie Jump Rope fabrics which I think work so well together. My mom and I did the hand quilting on this quilt using Finca Perle Cotton size 8 in Dark Brown. The quilt pattern is a slightly revised version of this free pattern. I preferred the framed squares as opposed to the solid squares and I also made the quilt a bit smaller than the pattern called for.
For the back of the quilt, I opted to use a solid white. This isn’t something I normally do but I wanted to show off the hand quilting pattern–I think it looks pretty neat (you’ll have to ignore the wrinkles).

really lovely quilt top, and the hand quilting on the back is so pretty!
I have long admired this quilt. I just love it. Thanks for showcasing it!
I love it!! So so cute! With the Japan project cancelled, maybe a local women's shelter, or certainly somewhere in the Joplin, MO area could use it!
At first glance I didn't think I liked it but the more I studied it, the more it grew on me and now I love it!
Moral: first impressions are not always right!
I really like this quilt! The pattern and fabrics are not and the hand quilting you and your mom did is beautiful!

LMS is one of my fave blogs for sure! And I just love this quilt.
I really love the angles the squares sit at, as well as the hand quilting. So glad you featured LMS today.
