Quilt completed - largest to date!!!

[quiltercaroline]

Hi All
I am new to the forum and am trying to find my way around. So I thought I would jump right in and share my newest finish with you. It is a king sized quilt that I have made for my parents. I used Jo Morton fabric and a pattern from a UK patchwork magazine. It is machine pieced and quilted - although I couldn't face wrestling with in as a whole, so completed it is two pieces and then after the quilting was completed put the halves together. It isn't perfect but I am pleased with it and love the fabric. I have some left over and am now planning another (smaller) quilt to use them up. Hope you like the photos and I manage to post them correctly.

Hello Caroline and welcome to the forum. What a gorgeous quilt!! I know your parents will feel very proud to know you've worked hard to make their gift. I know you say it's imperfect but it looks quite perfect to me. It is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing.

Caroline, welcome from Vermont. I love your quilt. The pattern is awesome; I've never seen it before. The colors and fabrics are just my style too. Your parents are going to love it and will show it off to all their friends because their daughter made it. Lovely! Great job.

It's funny how the person that makes the quilt always sees the flaws. I do the same thing. Your quilt is very nice. Your parents should be thrilled. And I see nothing wrong with it at all.

Wow! Gorgeous! I am also new to the forum. I think your king size quilt is beautiful! You do such nice work--I hope that someday I can get my quilts to look that good. I'm working on my first one and I enjoy it so much , but it IS lots of hard work!

Caroline, Welcome to the forum. We're happy to have you join us. Your quilt is wonderful...great fabrics...love the pattern. You did a wonderful job. I like the idea of doing a quilt in halves. It would really make it easier to handle if you are using a regular sewing machine. We always seem to be our own worst critic. That's because you have been working up close and personal with your quilt and know every time a stitch was skipped or something else happened. All our quilts will have imperfections because we are human beings, not machines. It's part of what makes each quilt unique. Give yourself a big pat on the back for making a fabulous quilt!!! Barb
