pezzy complete!

Welcome to finish it up Friday. First off, I want to say thanks to all of you who visit here regularly and leave me such sweet comments and encouragement. I appreciate it very much!

I'm happy to share my completed pezzy quilt with you today!

I used a layer cake and 4 yards of white kona cotton for the top-3 yards kona for the blocks and one yard for the outside borders. If you are interested, there is a tutorial for a churn dash block here*.

The idea/design for this quilt came from my good friend Tara. She was gracious to let me copy her, right down to the few reversed blocks. (Thanks Tara!) I love the crisp white fabric with the pezzy print. The colors in this line are so good!

I used a fabulous grey stripe from Connecting Threads for the binding. Sadly, this print is now discontinued. I will be hoarding some of this fabric, to be sure, because it is THE perfect grey.

I used a single fabric for the back. Strange choice for me, but sometimes simple=good. :) The color isn't quite right in the photo...the fabric is really a little bit more limey. It's a lovely almost solid from Michael Miller.

To quilt it I stitched in the ditch. Minimal quilting is a nice change...it keeps the quilt nice and soft and smooshy. And...it's QUICK! I quilted this in one afternoon!

The quilt measures 64" x 88 1/2". Perfect for a twin bed or a nice big lap quilt.

I'm quite pleased with this finish! I've even got a label on it and it's ready for gifting. Finishing feels soooooooooo good!!!!

*the only thing I did differently from the churn dash tutorial was cut the corner blocks at 5" rather than 4 7/8". I trimmed the pieced triangle units to 4.5". Cutting squares 5" is so much easier than cutting squares 4 7/8", and trimming helps accuracy immensely.

Now it's your turn! Please link up your finishes and go visit a few (or more) other finishers and cheer them on. Thanks for joining me each week for finish it up Friday!
