I've been "pecking away" at making this someday grandaughter quilt. This quilt looks like nothing I have ever made before yet I just love it! It has been one of those quilt projects that I just can't let sit and become a UFO. I'm about 1/2 way finished quilting and then binding.

It's a wonderful quilt, the black adds so much to it. Gorgeous!
It is a beautiful quilt. How will you be able to put it away and keep it for "Someday", I'd have to have it out where I could see it.
I wouldn't be able to leave this quilt alone either. Its lovely.
It's beautiful, Mary!
what a wonderful quilt so lively and fun. I'm sure she'll love it!
It's gorgeous, Mary...like all of your work.
Sometimes stepping out of our proverbial boxes is a 'good thing'.
I hope you get that grand-daughter some day. Better make a grand-son quilt, too. Just in case.
I'm lovin' it too!!!
Mary it's just so... so ?? there are no words to tell you how fantastic it is. It's something about the way you used color in the quilt. It's make me want to grab it and run LOL before anyone else gets their hands on it!! Congrats on getting it done!
Goodness that is such a pretty quilt. I just love polka dots, they are so happy.
With such a beautiful quilt ready to go you will be blessed with a granddaughter in the near future.
It is just beautiful...that will be one very lucky grandaughter!
So pretty! And uniquely yours. Love all the fabrics you used. I hope it won't be a decade before the someday happens :)
Fabulous quilt! I imagine your grand-daughter is going to love it...I certainly would!
What a stunning quilt!

It's absolutely beautiful!
This is such a fabulous quilt! What an heirloom for your future granddaughter. I'm sure she'll be properly spoiled once she gets here!
It looks fantastic! Love the quilting too.
So I'm now wondering if you designed this pattern too. I'm loving it more and more!
I do believe your "someday granddaugher" is going to have herslef a very special heirloom.
A "grandma" in the making.
Love how the black and white kind of frame the colors. I like the soft colors mixed in too.
Whenever 'she' gets here...she'll love it :-)
It looks amazing!
Oh, I love it! I wish t was mine;-)
It is beautiful.

Beautfiul quilts. I can't wait to get a quilting machine.
Mary, I just love this and you know I'm a traditional gal. But it speaks to me too. Great job and the quilting really makes it sing!
Hugs, Jane
Mary it is so pretty and your quilting only makes it better. It will be loved.
Oh sew pretty, I love it!
Love your quilt. The quilting looks great and I can't wait to see the backside of it.
A week ago, I was at the point you are at. A quilt I had been working on was at the quilter, she was half way done with it, my binding was made and I thought I would have it finished over the holiday weekend.
Instead, my family and friends and I spent about 53 total hours removing the quilting. I talked with the quilter about wanting the back of the quilt to stand out, it was more important than the front. The back is a redish orange batik with motorcycles on it. The quilt is to be raffled off by the Combat Vets Motorcycle Association of WA to help a young woman make care packages for the troops.
Instead of matching the backing as we talked about, she used a cream colored thread, top and bottom that reads as yellow on the backing. I said not to over quilt it. It was over quilted and the cream was all you could see on front or back. The stitches were uneven and except for the border, poorly done.
The point to this lament is that the work that you do on your quilts is so important to the person making the quilt and you listen to the owner and your work enhances the quilts. My thanks to you and other long arm quilters who pour so much of themselves into their quilting. You are appreciated by us all who do not have the talent to do this work.
Tomorrow, I will finish cleaning up threads on my quilt, I was able to replace the motorcycle batik for a new backing and cut new batting. Wednesday it will go to a different quilter, with more specific instructions beyond matching the thread and "do what you think is best - I trust you". She promises I will have it back in time to bind and have it ready for the association's state meeting on the 11th. Fingers crossed.
Very unusual set for this - what's the pattern name?? It's really pretty.
I'm lovin' it too, it reminds me of licorice allsorts. :-)
I am loving it too. Great job.
I love that this is a "someday granddaughter" quilt, Mary - good thinking ahead!! You're right, it isn't like most of what you make, but it's gorgeous!
Cheers!
This is wonderful! I love the blogs and setting and colors.
I think the black and white polka dots are a fantastic spark in this beautiful quilt. I have a friend with 5 very young grandchildren and she's making them each a quilt for their wedding. She's already started!
I think I've mentioned this before, but I love this quilt. Everything about it.
I couldn't find you for a while, I think something happened to your feed and your blog came up with an error on bloglines. Relocated, resubscribed. :)
