This is the very first grown up quilt I've ever made. My friend Melissa requested a custom quilt a couple months ago and I finally got it done. We went to the fabric store and she picked out all the fabric she wanted for her quilt. The finished dimensions ended up being about 60" wide and 85" long, WOW! (That's about the size of a twin sized comforter.) The quilts I usually make are 35" wide and 45" long so this one was huge in comparison!
This is a close up of the front of the quilt. There are four different fabrics on the front, two flannel and two quilter's cottons. The back is all one pattern of pink stars, it's really cute. You can really see the "ragging" effect here on the seams. (Clipping the seams took FOREVER!) It turned out beautifully and it was so much fun to see how happy she was when she finally got to unwrap her one of a kind, handmade quilt. (On her birthday no less.) Happy birthday Melissa, I hope this quilt brings you years of comfort!
