Aviary Quilt

Awhile back, a coworker of my husband got wind that I am a quilter.   She was looking for someone to make her a quilt like this one that she saw on danimiller.com except for her KING sized bed.   I was up for the challenge.   I got her to purchase the fabric and I did the rest.  

Even though it is a simple pattern, working in such a large size is tricky...trying to keep it all squared up,  etc.

I quilted it in my favourite style -  the watery meander.  Thank heavens for my longarm quilting machine...this was a breeze to quilt.
Fabric:  Joel Dewberry  Aviary 2
Quilt measurement:  100 x 88 (after shrinking...another post for another day...sigh)  



Next up,  putting together a new quilt...

  3. Beautiful! And huge :) I've done it once (king size) and it was tough. I'm curious about the shrinking...I'm thinking the quilting pulled it in more than you thought it would?
