Another One Off The List...

It's been a long process, but I finally can check Christmas gift #2 off the list!

This one was quite a challenge considering I'm still a "newbie," but overall it was a lot of fun and turned out better than I had hoped!

Being twice the size of the other two quilts I've done, I was honestly worried that it would turn out OK.  Not only did the top come together extremely quickly once I got into a rhythm with it, but the new large throat space on my new machine made quilting a breeze!

I chose to do echo stitching in the lattice and first border, and then Stitch-In-The-Ditch thru the triangles.  I also just did some straight stitching in the border to give it some more texture.

Here are the project details:

• Started: July 6, 2014     Finished: August 24, 2014
• Pattern: Lattice Quilt (Missouri Star Quilt Co - Leaflet or BLOCK Magazine)
• Approx Size: 64" x 67 1/2"
• Fabrics: Ansonia Blue & Green layer cake by Denyse Schmidt for Free Spirit Fabrics, Cotton Supreme - Canvas Honey Bun, Ansonia Blue & Green - Honeycomb Lace Mossy yardage (border), Ansonia Blue & Green - Connecticut Geo Turquoise yardage (binding), unbleached muslin (backing)
• Thread: Coats & Clarke Machine Quilting Thread - 0016 Ecru
• Batting: Warm & Natural

I actually had so much fun making this one that I've already got the stuff to make a Christmas-themed one (eventually).  So glad to be able to check another one of the list :)  Such a great feeling!

Hope everyone is having a terrific Tuesday!
