I made this low volume lap quilt for a friend of mine that is getting married. Once again the picture isn't great. Come on new computer! I used the 6.5 HST accuquilt die to cut the triangles. It is so much faster than having to trim each and every square. There are 19 or 20 different prints in this quilt and I wish I had used more. I matched up a light and a dark for each square.
Since this was a wedding gift, I decided to use Minky on the back. I had to lower the size of the quilt to fit on the minky, but it is still a nice sized lap quilt. I was super careful when I loaded the minky on the rollers and it still stretched a bit in the corners. But after washing it lays pretty flat and it's super snuggly!

Oh this looks SO cuddly! I love the subtlety of the quilt!
ReplyDeleteHi Shannon,
ReplyDeleteYou're going to begin to think I'm stalking you! This is another fabulous quilt! My new favorite block of HSTs in a big size - so fun to work with. And Minky on the back - oh my, that is so cuddly and warm. I can almost see someone covered with this and just petting the Minky. It feels so, so nice. ~smile~ Roseanne
I really like it, so snugly with the minky backing and the quilting looks great. Congrats on a lovely finish.
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful wedding gift. The last picture is a great prop for Etsy pictures. I'll have to try it.
ReplyDeleteThis is my kind of quilt, a simple quilt made from stash and I can use my die-cutter. I'm seeing a lot of quilts with Minky on the back and it does have lots of snuggle power. I'm sure it's going to be much loved and used.
ReplyDeleteThis is so soothing and pretty! You did a great job!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful serene quilt! Oh....and I love minky on a back of a quilt, I think it makes them extra special.
ReplyDeleteSuch a nice wedding quilt. I love how calming the colors are. I have a harder time with the dimpled minky as well. I think it is a lot stretchier than the flat minky.
