Gail made this quilt for her grandson:
He requested the quilt be soft and snuggly, so I used 100% cotton batting and "Fascination", a quilting design that is more open.
Gail used the longtime favorite quilt pattern, "Yellow Brick Road".
This quilt measures 113" square with a backing of 120", which is the maximum I can load on my 12 foot longarm. Gail had to add more fabric to the extra-wide backing to bring it up to 120".
All of the fabrics in this quilt are grey or black, a very modern look.
As large as it is, this was a nice, flat, square quilt to work with. Great job, Gail!!! He is a lucky grandson to get such a large quilt gift.
Grace & peace!!! ~Nancy

Perfect quilt for a guy! Nice quilting too!
ReplyDeleteThis quilt will look great on a guy's big bed. I like how the swirly quilting enhances the pieced design and gives it movement.
ReplyDeleteHe is lucky indeed, I love it too.
ReplyDeleteWhoa, that's a biggie! It looks great with Fascination as the quilting. You're right, that's a generous gift :)
ReplyDeleteWow! It is a huge quilt! You know, I'm learning so much reading your blog. Swirly quilting certainly softens the angles of this quilt - and makes it look so soft and cuddly! Nice job!
ReplyDeleteThat is a huge quilt!! I love how it has a pixelated vibe about it! I'm sure he'll love it!
ReplyDeleteOne ginormous quilt! Love the pattern you chose to quilt with - looks as cuddly as requested!
ReplyDeleteThat is one huge quilt, but just lovely in all those shades of grays.
ReplyDeleteVery nice! Great quilt for a guy!!
ReplyDeleteYellow Brick Road is one of my all-time favorite patterns; when it first came out, I couldn't stop making them. I haven't made one in a long time and now after seeing this quilt, I think it's time to make one. Love it with these fabrics and of course the quilting is just perfect.
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful and has been finished beautifully. Even though it has black in it, it is still a very subtle looking appearance. Great work.
ReplyDeleteWhat a generous gift!! You don't see too many YBR quilts these days. Quiltmaker and quilter BOTH did a fabulous job!!
ReplyDeleteI like this quilt a lot! I did not recognize it as Yellow Brick Road! It's awesome. The quilting is just right!
