Brooke's Quilt

Twin quilt number one is done and here it is! My friend Denyel is a bit over 6 feet tall so she held it up for me to take pics today (nobody at my house is tall enough for that, and the fence I usually use is not tall enough to capture the whole thing!).

Sorry that left side flapped a bit. Her arms are only so long! I kept the back simple, though it's really hard to see the print of this from far away. And the colors are brighter in person.

Here's a close-up of the back so you get a better idea of what the fabrics look like. See? Really hard to tell that it looks like this up close.

It dawned on me that the place where Little Man takes karate has these big cool rocks so I took a few out there.

And here is a close-up of the front.

The front of the quilt is done in Dogwood Trails by Moda and Kona Unbleached White.  The back is done in two Free Spirit fabrics, one of which was also used to bind the quilt.  I initially planned on FMQ for this one but ended up pulling it out when the new machine was making some eyelashes on the back. I ended up using straight line stitching throughout which was actually a bit easier to do on a home machine with a larger size quilt.
