Now that Christmas is over, I can show some of the presents I've been working on! This quilt was my 'big project' this year. We pick names between my parents and siblings, and this is for my 'twin' sister (we share a birthday but we're actually 2 years apart).
The quilt pattern is called New Wave by Oh, Fransson! and the fabric is from the Cloud9 Across the Pond collection with a solid white organic fabric for the sashing. The backing is an extra-wide solid blue flannel.
I straight-line quilted, and used my foot as a guide on either side of the ditch. I love this method - more forgiving than in-the-ditch, and I love the way the quilting looks on the back of the quilt. I forgot to take the finished measurements but it is a very generous lap-size, almost a twin.

Beautiful quilt, Rebecca! I love that pattern and have it high on my list to try. I bet your sister loved it!
That quilt is absolutely beautiful! I am so putting this on my to-do list for 2011! Happy New Year!
Hmmm... I don't like cutting templates, but I think I can improvise on this and use tumbler die cut and sash it. Thanks for the inspiration!
That is stunning - your sister is so lucky!
