D4P all quilted...

and ready to donate.  The piecing was started a year ago at retreat and then set aside for a month while I was trying to figure out the pressing directions. It's easy to see which way to press the individual blocks, however, they don't want to nestle when sewing the blocks and rows together. Since I really like things to nestle I had to sometimes twist the seam in the back to make that happen. I really don't like twisting them but in the end it all worked out fine, you don't notice it since I did large meander all over.

I just used a navy fleece for the backing and no batting in this one. It is soft and cuddly. You have to make sure not to use to thin of a fleece though.

Linking with Can I get a Whoop Whoop, Fabric Frenzy Friday, and Oh Scrap(on Sunday).

    Like the backing you picked out, set it of. I'm not into sewing small pieces. I do like appliqueing small wool pieces for some reason. The recipient will be pleased. Is this a stash quilt? would be a good one I think.

    You are probably the only one who will know the seams twist. (And everyone reading this). What a great cuddly finish.

    The fleece on the back will make this a great cuddle quilt. I like the block design ou used, it looks so intricate! Very pretty finish.

    We must have similar taste in colours...looks almost identical to mine. Yes, remember the hassle with the nesting...I think, I noticed it earlier and did half the blocks one way and the other half pressed the other way.
