Finishing Jewel Squares, part 3
The quilt top is FINISHED!
I cannot properly express how overjoyed I am about that fact. Not only am I glad to have Eleanor’s baby quilt done before she turns two (!), but I am also thrilled with how it turned out. I love the color and the variety of the squares. Do I wish it was a tad larger? Maybe, but I am not at all patient enough to turn this into a full sized quilt. If I did that, she’d have to wait for her wedding to get it!
This quilt has been on my “to do” list since I saw it on the cover of Glorious Patchwork five years ago.
I went from this:
To this:
Just in case you were wondering, you’re looking at somewhere in the neighborhood of 1,799 pieces of fabric, give or take a few. Guess who is glad she didn’t count until she was finished? Wow. Just thinking about it makes me woozy.
It even has a nice little rear end…
Now I am off to sit and gaze at it for the rest of the evening.
This is so beautiful!! How are you going to quilt it?
GORGEOUS!! I love scrappy quilts like this- you did a great job!
seriously, seriously awesome. i LOVE the red with little white polka dots. it almost makes me want to make one for myself…
Just awesome! I love everything about it. Can’t wait to see it quilted!
I’ve just finished a quilt with 3000 pieces on it. It is queen sized and lives on my bed. I promise you, when you quilt this top and start using it, you’ll get a little thrill every time you walk into the room and see it. I know I do with mine!
Absolutely gorgeous! I love all of the saturated colors!
It looks amazing, and it is a real heirloom for your child. Wow!
Wow – I’m so impressed with this. KF is one of my all-time favs, and I’ve thought about making this quilt. Even your back looks awesome.
Any advice for someone who may start this pattern?
Yeh….it looks great! I love your color combinations….so bright and cheerful. I’ve been waiting to see what it looks like!
It’s stunning! Love the colours.
So beautiful! Yeah, I’d never start a quilt project that said to cut over 1000 pieces of fabric!
Stunning quilt. I’d be thrilled too. Lovely.
