Way back in October 2024, I started making economy blocks as my retreat sewing project. They were fun to assembly - so many cute images. Finishing the quilt was a goal for this year but it took a back seat to the quilts I made for QuiltCon.
The smaller blocks went on the back along with leftover large scraps. Making a pieced back is not a favorite thing for me but I think it worked out just fine for this quilt.
A spiral quilting design is one of my all time favorites! This quilt is just for me! It will hang out on the chair in my sewing space and get much use when I sit and read or stitch.
Wonderfully colorful -- and the spiral quilting is terrific!

ReplyDeleteMy favorite part about Favorite Finish is getting the opportunity to sometimes get a second visit with quilts. Congratulations on this two sided beauty and thanks so much for linking up!
DeleteThe quilt top!! The quilt back!!! Both top and back are gorgeous, colorful and ready for someone to cuddle under it. Inspiring.

What a big effort it was to make all those economy blocks! You spent lots of time on those, for sure. The quilt turned out great, and I'm happy for you to have taken the time to piece a backing. Believe me, I know how un-fun it is to piece a quilt back, but I also know I'm always - always - glad I did. I'm also happy you get to keep and enjoy this quilt for yourself. Yay!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful finish!
