Very Old Friday Finish

I made this college quilt for my niece way back in June, but the photos were lost in cyber space when I got a new phone.  So this is a photo heavy post since I finally got the photos back.

Auditioning fabrics by color gradient.

Test log cabin block.  Yeah, my math is good!

Log cabin strips set ready to go.

It was a monumental project based on a photo that was about 2" square.  I'm sorry but I have no idea who to give credit to for that inspirational photo.

Log cabin center section test layout.

It was a good test of my mathematical abilities.  I'm happy to say all the math was correct - the first time!!

Testing placement of outer blocks.

Spiral quilting

Woo hoo!!

This was my first major project after my quilting foot stopped working.  I tried a spiral quilting design on my sister's domestic machine with the walking foot and that worked like a charm. 

I would definitely do spiral quilting again.

I finally remembered to use the labels the girls gave me for Christmas.

Every bit of purple was used up.

Ta daaaaa!

It was the perfect finish to the design and a perfect match to my niece's personality.  Even though it was boiling hot she wore it around the house for the summer.

Linking up to Confessions of a Fabric Addict and Crazy Mom Quilts to show off finishes.
