Jenny's Grad


This quilt was designed for a close family friend upon her graduation from college. It was a real race to get it done in time. Originally, we were not planning on making it to the actually graduation so I planned on finishing up the quilt and mailing it to her when done. However, at the last minute, we decided to go and I wound up finishing the quilt in 24 hours. I tied the last knot in the binding as we pulled into the driveway. It was great seeing her and her family who all adored the quilt. The quilting is in the ditch with echo quilting done on the main colored squares. The top and binding fabrics were from Jo-ann's, while the backing was found at Wal-mart. The entire quilt is made of flannel, so its an extremely nice lap quilt.
