My Facets Plus quilt top is finished! For those of you
who haven’t been following its progress, this is the quilt I’m making to
participate in the Facets Plus
Quilt Along hosted by Amanda
over at This Mom Quilts. I’ve adapted the pattern slightly while keeping
the same block design.
Did I tell you I was going to make it big enough to fit
my king single bed in the spare room? This is the biggest quilt I’ve made so
far finishing up at 70” by 80”. Whew! I was originally going to add borders but
in the end I went with extra blocks to increase the size and I’m happy that I did.
Today’s photos are taken at my place; since it’s so large
I had to stand on a teetering crate to stick it to the wall and that means
convenience reigns when choosing a photo location.
Here in Australia it is the beginning of spring and the
quilt makes a superb backdrop to the peach and plum blossom. I kind of wish it
was there all the time.
I’m not looking forward to quilting it – keeping it simple
will work best I think. I might just take a breather and whip up a couple of
smaller more manageable pieces before I start in on that long and arduous
journey... or is that the wrong attitude?
I’m linking up with Fabric Frenzy Friday at Fort
Worth Fabrics and Show Off Saturday at
Sew Can She.
