high rise quilt complete

Welcome to finish it up Friday!

My high rise quilt is complete! It feels good to have this quilt finished, since it was a WIP for over 3 years. And, it feels especially good to get something this large finished in December! I've got a lot of photos to share, and then I'll give details about the quilt at the end of the post.

Finished size: 62" x 87" (it hasn't been washed yet)

Background fabric: Essex Linen in the color Flax by Robert Kaufman

Block background fabrics: Oakshott Shot Cottons (Similar to this Lakes bundle)

Mini charm squares: The Birds and the Bees by Tula Pink

Backing: Free Fall in Orchid by Tula Pink (108" wide, sateen fabric....it's luscious!)

Thread: Auriful color 2615

Quilting: squared off stippling (quilted by me) on my Juki. :)

Pattern: Original design, hopefully to be a pattern someday!

 

I really like how this one turned out! Purple, orchid and all! Ha!

 

Now, it's your turn! Please link up your finishes for the week. Thank you, as always, for joining me for finish it up Friday!
