Yay, I’m glad to have this one finished!
I added two borders since I had lots of scraps just the right size, and now its a perfect lap size, I think it ended up being about 63" by 75". I wasn’t so sure about this one as I was making it, but now that its done I am in love with it. The back is a solid yellow cotton to match the front.
This last picture is for my hubby….who kindly suggested that this blog would be way more exciting if I took “action” shots of my quilts instead of boring ones. Good call Jay….it is way more exciting. :)
And for those of you that want to know, the tutorial for these blocks can be found here.

Mama Pea Quilts
This quilt has a very "old" look to it . . . which is meant as a compliment! Looks as if it could be found in a quilt museum somewhere with a date of 1880 on it. Lovely.
Doris
It does look vintage! Beautiful quilt and love the action shot...that sounds like something my sweetie would come up with!

Vals Quilting
Hi Allison, love your quilt - so much good movement and I don't mean with your hubby's excellent idea of the action shot either - how hilarious is he - I'm laughing out loud to your blog and my hubby thinks I'm too loud so he closes the door - he would be the first one to come up with an "excellent" idea - Coodoos to your hubby for being so involved - I'm still giggling;)
Valerie
PS I have your blog on an RSS feed as I love it and don't want to miss out of anything!!

my husband and me are cracking up at the "action" shot!!

I love it! Nice action shot! Thanks for the pattern link.
amandajean
what a fun quilt! i like the action shot. :)
Cheryl Arkison
That last shot is hysterical! But isn't an action shot for a quilt someone actually using it for snuggles?
Heather
What a cute quilt. Love it. And the action shot...way to go Jay. :)
Valerie
Fantastic! Love it!
Kent and Katie
This quilt its so ridiculously beautiful.
Nicksenbachler
Okay, I don't normally comment but I adore the action shot. It made me laugh and smile at how cute husbands can be, and I love that you included it.
Since I don't normally comment, I thought I would say I love your sewing too. While I don't quilt, your blog has inspired me to put that on my list of planned projects (right now I am focused on Halloween costumes). You have beautiful work. Thanks for sharing.
Shanna
I absolutely LOVE this quilt and the fabrics you used!! I have been wanting to buy this fabric for a while but couldn't think of a good pattern. I may have to give this a try! Thanks!
Angela
I love it. And i do have to admit that I laughed really hard at the action shot of the quilt. Way more exciting.
CitricSugar
BEAUTIFUL!! The aqua and red combination is really wonderful.
Thanks for the tutorial link. I might try it someday but I fear circles. :-)
Katie
Haha! That sounds like something my husband and brothers-in-law would say. Your quilt is beautiful!
a little bit biased
Beautiful! I love everything about it! The quilting looks great - I love how wrinkly it is!
Terje
I must say, the "Action Shot" is the very best photo and photo comment I have seen in a long time. I LOVE it! Your man has a great sense of humor. Give him a hug from me.
And it goes without saying that your quilt is beautiful. They all are. I love watching what you come up with each time you present your newest creation.
