In usual fashion, I was in such a rush to get the Easy Street quilt finished that I didn't get good photos. It was really big and my husband didn't have enough reach to hold it up for me.
It was gifted right after Christmas when my husband drove down to see his family.
My brother loved it and I'm happy to have finished a UFO.
I used the Quilter's Dream Green batting and lavender Glide thread. I quilted it with Anne Bright's Feather Garden. It's a beautiful pantograph, but it took so long to quilt. It was more than an hour for each row, plus the time to advance the quilt and fiddle with realigning the design.

What a stunning pantograph Feather Garden is. Definitely worth the effort. Not surprised your brother loved. No doubt this quilt will be treasured for generations.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'm glad that I went ahead and finished it despite the mistakes. It feels good to get that UFO off my ToDo list.
DeleteI'm sure brother does love this quilt! You have the pleasure of his enjoyment and having it finished! Happy stitching & Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThanks Gretchen. I had been planning to make him a quilt with a different, more complicated, pattern so I'm relieved I can cross that quilt off the queue.
DeleteThose are great colours. Congrats on the finish. Thanks for linking up with Thank Goodness It's Finished Friday.
ReplyDeleteI have never tried the green batting - how does it wash up - any shrinkage? thanks for stopping by my blog - it went to spam but I found it
ReplyDeleteI can't really tell the difference between the Dream Green and regular poly batting. It washes well and I've been happy with it and I'm on at least my third bolt of it.
