And just for fun, a wide shot. You can see that there was only a sliver of non-shady sun. I put a blanket under the quilt where it touched the ground as the grass was wet and muddy. The joy of quilt photography in winter!
With just a few minutes left before school pick up, I whipped the quilt back inside and onto my son’s bed, moved all the mess into a corner and shot a few more photos…
This is the second finished quilt from my Quilt the Book project, I’m making all the quilts in the book Denyse Schmidt Modern Quilts Traditional Inspiration. I can’t wait to get a big pile of quilts! It’s also the first finish from my third quarter goals, I’ll be linking up with the finish along at the end of this quarter.

Another great finish. LOVE that quilting!!
Beautiful job!
Oh, Rachel!!! This quilt is absolutely stunning! I just love everything about it, the fabric, quilting, and that perfect extra sashing. Just gorgeous!!!
I adore this finish! Your fabric choices, that quilting, the bottom strip – it's all just perfect! Congrats!! Good job.
What a great finish! Love it!
Love your fabric choices – delish!
It's lovely, great choice of fabrics. I bet piecing those circles wasn't easy
Two down and many more to go, but they are both beauties. You'll have a pile of Awesome when you finish the book!
it looks just wonderful 🙂
PERFECT circles! WOW! I love it. Its simple, but not easy. The quilting looks lux! Beautifully done!
What a pretty finish and nice pics! It'll be fab to see the whole pile of quilts 🙂
Great finish. Love the quilty use of the goal. Wishing we hadn't put ours in the skip now!
I love this quilt so very much. The big blocks turned out wonderful (not something I'm usually drawn too). And you picked the perfect quilt design. I wish I could do something similar on my home machine, I love it so much!
so love this quilt Rachel ! and really looks good on your son's bed – I also love the wallpaper with maps on one wall and stripes on the other – so awesome 🙂
Well done Rachel – you're motoring through that book. I'd still be deciding on which fabrics to use on which quilt! I'm sure your son will love it – and it will keep him cosy too.
Love this quilt so hard. I love the photos of it on the bed. I am such a big fan of that quilting design at the moment – I can see a few quilts in my future that have it. It gives such great texture. Congrats on the finish!
Congratulations on a beautiful finish and a lovely series of photo’s!
It looks great Rachel! Well done!
Love this! You've inspired me to tackle curves again ?
