King Size Postcard Quilt

 102 x 114

This is a modified Postcard from Sweden Quilt enlarged to make it a King Size.  Isn't it magnificent. with the rich Kona Cotton colors? You can order one from my etsy shop in multiple sizes.



I made two king size pillow shams to go along with the quilt. She wanted a bright yellow for the back of the quilt for the pillows. I made them with an envelope opening on the back.



She also wanted a matching pillow case for her dog!  This one is not quilted and has a zipper closure.


The hardest part about making this quilt is sewing all the HST blocks. The rest seemed easy compared to that. The pillows are a nice touch to complete the set which is for sale in my shop.

    Really stunning! I love the pillows too. Well done. I think I might have to try one of these (but maybe not so big LOL!)

    Hi Shannon! This is gorgeous. Can I ask how you enlarged the original to king size? Did you make two of all the HSTs in the original pattern? So stunning!

    Hi Shannon, This is so beautiful! Do you know where I can buy the pattern? Not king size. I would just like to make it as a wall hanging.
    Thank you for sharing!
