I Couldn't Wait

I couldn't wait until tomorrow when I would be able to take a better photo...I made my husband hold up the quilt this morning to get a better photo :)


I spent a vast majority of the day today Sunday, finishing the piecing of this quilt top.  I can't wait to get the backing done and get this all quilted.  Then, I'll have to take this quilt out for a photo shoot before I deliver it to the newlyweds.

In case you are wondering, this is a recipe from Moda Bake Shop by Lynne of Lily's Quilts.  The recipe was great, too.  I really had no troubles following it.  It was a bit tricky at first, to remember to offset the angles when sewing the half hexagons into rows.  Luckily, I got it sorted out quickly and was able to sew along.  This is the first real quilt pattern I have followed and I can't wait to get it completely finished.

Oh Sally it's simply wonderful! Your brother and sister-in-law will no doubt cherish it for years to come. You've chosen a lovely array of black, white, and red prints. I'm in awe!!

I agree with Duff, the fabric choices for this are absolutely stunning - possibly my fave version of this quilt!
