I get this question a lot when someone mentions that I quilt... How long does it take you to finish a quilt?
I am sure you get that too - and after I waver and explain QDD, and the multiple projects that need my attention - I still never come up with a good answer.
This quilt? I made it in under a year... yep!! I did!!
it is a LARGE Quilt - like 72 x 100 ish. It took 2 people to hold it all pretty like, and one tall one to try the photos in the sun. Its a combination of the Jelly Roll 18 pattern and my Happy Half Square 3 block.
It was also the inspiration for our Fireworks QOV's!!
I really like it - and!! I think its long enough for all 3 dogs to cuddle with me, but they don't need to cuddle right now. Or maybe? I hear a storm is coming in - and we are all for it - lets get rain!!!
Did you all have a good week? Did you get to your sewing room? ( mine is in the front room, so its easy to get to.... until I start the piles... oops)
Link Up your Direct Post - Its so fun to go see what you all are doing. I still haven't quite figured out how to comment if I browse on my phone - but I'll get there!

I love this quilt, and I just went down my own rabbit hole checking out your Happy Half Square project page as well as the Jelly Roll 18 pattern. It is a beautiful combo! It is amazing how many variations the half squares can make.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you! How long does it take to make a quilt?!?! Difficult to answer! Your tall quilt is a beautiful accomplishment, Alycia!
ReplyDeleteA finished quilt in less than a year is pretty good for me. Especially when QDD is involved! But your finish is a beauty, and worth all the time it took!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job on this quilt! superb!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, the colors are so bright and cheerful. Those blocks go together so well, too. I hope you received loads of rain over many days.
ReplyDeleteWow!! Awesome finish! That is really pretty, and the pattern is ideal for QOV.
ReplyDeleteSuch an awesome finish. . .now to see it in action. . .three dogs a cuddling with you. I believe all will fit comfortably!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finish! It sounds like you are getting to keep this one. I hope you did get a nice rain and that it's just the right size to cuddle with all the pups.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty! The quilting is gorgeous, Alycia. You chose a great design.
