You might recognize this as the first top I finished up at "Quilting in The Pines"! I am now happy to report that it is completed! Although, I did not finish in time for Charlotte's shower.
I wanted to keep the quilting simple. This quilt is intended for picnics and "floor time fun".
I used Coats n Clark machine quilting thread in variegated pink. I love the way it makes this quilt sparkle.
I named this quilt "Floortime Fun". Before being washed it finished at 58 x 69 1/2. After washing it measures 54 1/2 x 66 1/2. It has such a great texture.
