My nephew asked if he could order and buy a quilt from me three years ago. I told him I don't typically sell quilts--my business is quilting for others. But since he's family, he just might get one from me someday. I put Andrew's quilt on my quilt resolution list for 2020, and here it is, made in his requested color of blues, in queen size!!!
Size: 92" X 99"
Batting: Quilters Dream Batting 80/20 White
Thread: Glide--Linen
Interesting Info: DH and I took this finished quilt to Fort Snelling State Park, St. Paul, to get some photos. This is my 12th finish of 13 resolution quilts for 2020!
For background I used a Stonehenge print: ⤵️
I love how this edge-to-edge design, "Raindrops On Water", adds to the ocean feeling of this quilt: ⤵️
The backing has a watery feeling, too! ⤵️
His quilt was delivered today so I'm posting it here. Best wishes, love and prayers, Andrew!!!
Grace and peace!!! ~Nancy

Beautiful quilt !!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt !!!
ReplyDeleteHe's going to love this! Beautiful colors and great quilting design choice for it. How sweet that he wants a quilt too :-)
ReplyDeleteIt came out great, Nancy! I'll bet this looks really good on the bed, too, with the pieced design on top of the mattress and the negative background space hanging down at the sides of the bed. I have some "resolution quilts" of my own that are nagging at my conscience -- didn't actually make quilting resolutions at the beginning of the year, but if I had, there would be several quilts on the list. Meanwhile, I need to get in touch with our guild's Outreach coordinator to see if I can get some of the tops that other members have pieced, so I can try out some of my new pantograph patterns. !!! :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cool quilt, the design, the fabrics and the quilting. You two find such fun places for photos too! I'm sure Andrew is going to be very happy with his quilt!
ReplyDelete...Also, thanks for linking up with Long Arm Learning!
ReplyDeletebeautiful quilt and quilting - it is a wonderful feeling to gift a quilt to someone who is family and appreciates it.
ReplyDeleteYou go girl...12 out of 13!! Amazing both in the dedication and beauty.
ReplyDeletePerfect ! The quilt design and the quilting.
ReplyDeleteI so love this! I am sure your nephew is thrilled. It is fun to give them a quilt; especially when he was looking for one from his lovely aunt.
ReplyDeletePerfect in every way! Wow!! I'm more tempted to get a quilting computer by the day.
ReplyDeleteYou are on a roll 12 of 13 done! These are my favorite colors, reminding me of the water too. The quilting is perfect. I'm sure he is thrilled
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I'm sure your nephew loves it!
ReplyDeleteOh, I have that pattern but just haven't bumped it up on my Priority List! Yours is beautiful! So fun to make a quilt for family who really wants one. And I must say, large quilts really are HUGE to quilt!!!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty and am sure he will love it!
ReplyDeleteI read this posting and it made me think of The Quilt Maker's Gift. The woman would not sell her quilts, but only give them to the poor or homeless, of which I know you do. I know Andrew is neither of those things, but he appreciates the beauty of your quilts and talents and he is family. I am sure he loves his quilt. It is beautiful.

What a lovely quilt--and that spiral quilting is amazing--just gorgeous work ;)))

This is my favorite of all the quilts you have shared and I LOVE that background fabric. Do you remember what that background is? The Stonehenge collection is very appealing to me. The quilting mixed with the background fabric add such nice texture. Congrats on moving through your resolution list and thank you for linking this fabulous finish up to Put your foot down.
ReplyDeleteWonderful quilt finish, Nancy. Lucky, Andrew! Whether you treated his quilt like a commission or a gift, it turned out beautifully and he is sure to love it.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! Love all the water colors together. That quilting is great--you are right that it looks like water, like a fast-moving river.
ReplyDeleteIt's so lovely! I agree, that water feeling is definitely apparent!
ReplyDeleteHe is one lucky nephew. It looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteHis quilt is really lovely! The quilting design is so graceful and I love your photography, too.
ReplyDeleteWow!!!! This is one of my favourite patterns of Cheryl’s. You’ve done a spectacular job from fabrics (Stonehenge is sooo good) to quilting. Andrew is a lucky nephew!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up to TGIFF!
ReplyDeleteLove your quilt! Is that computerized quilting? I’m doing a similar pattern and it has stolen my joy!
ReplyDeleteLove your color choices and the quilting too - great looking quilt!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on a beautiful finish. Another cool design. And, wow, it got beauty shots at the state park. Lucky Andrew.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up to TGIFF!
ReplyDeleteLovely quilt, especially the quilting! This is one that's well worth waiting for. I know your nephew will love it! Thanks for sharing on Wednesday Wait Loss.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful, Nancy! I will be featuring the quilt in this week’s Creative Compulsions.

Such a gorgeous, lovely and soothing quilt. The quilting is so beautiful. And the photo-shoot is inspirational. I will be looking for a stream/bridge for my next photo-shoot.
ReplyDeleteIf you are open to adopting a niece, please let me know :-)
Lovely quilt! Well worth the wait ;) And the pictures are fun too - love the one on the bridge. Enjoy your finish! xo
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt!
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy, that's a really beautiful quilt! Take care.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful work! It is going to turn into a family heirloom, no doubt.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love that your nephew admires your work enough to be willing to order a quilt, and/or canny enough to know you would make him one. He has struck gold with this, it is stunning, and of course beautifully quilted too. Thanks for linking up to Clever Chameleon.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful quilt! I love the added dimension the textured solid background fabric gives the quilt!
