Last Saturday evening I finished my gingham quilt!!!! I waited until I completed the coordinating pillowcases (all 6 of them!) to put the quilt on the bed. Otherwise I would procrastinate for at a least a year or two to actually sew them up. Ha! I put everything on my bed last night and I'm soooo pleased with how it all came together!
The quilt uses only 5 fabrics: White, Pink Flamingo and Pearl pink (all Konas) for the top. The binding (lotta dots in coral reef) and backing (apron in coral reef) fabrics are from Connecting Threads. That coral color is super hard to photograph, but trust me, it's really pretty!
It was pretty fun to back an entire quilt with my fabric. :) This is my largest quilt to date, finishing at about 108" x 102". I'm very happy that this quilt, which features the Kona color of the year, is actually finished before the year is over. Woohoo!
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! Have a great weekend!
finish it up Friday, 12/8/17

You did it! I love the ridge formed by the quilted loops. Fantastic quilt!
Pretty! I like the secondary horizontal/vertical lines that show up in the first photo from the way the light hits the quilting.
This is just gorgeous! I love the simple loopy quilting. :)
Hi Amanda,
Oh, this turned out so wonderful. It looked great on the porch floor, but WOWEE - so much better on the bed. You will enjoy this for years to come, and I can't think why you'd get tired of the pattern or colors. So beautiful, and I love the quilting, too. ~smile~ Roseanne

if Any one want New Embroidery Designs ?
I really like the texture of your quilting. That was so smart to finish it up with the pillow cases while you still had the fabric out. You have created a beautiful bedroom ensemble.
I finished three table runners. Two for for a fundraiser at my church and one will be a gift love your quilt.
You should be pleased...that bedroom is beautiful and just made me smile!!
I love you gingham quilt. The colors are so pretty and I like the simplicity of the quilt.
What an awesome finish for you!!! The gingham quilt is so pretty and the 6 pillows complete the set!! Well done and I hope you pat yourself on the back!!!
Your quilt is absolutely beautiful!
Sometimes simple is oh so very beautiful! Especially when done in such pretty colors. Love the little dingle balls on the window too. I'm curious about whether you use Connecting Threads thread for piecing and quilting?
Oh Wow!! Your quilt looks fabulous!! And i love the spot of colour you added at the window. Beautiful!
Merry Christmas!
ohhh ahhhh! It looks beautiful, perfect with the cushions. Gingham is so classic and I love love love the quilting!
Your room is gorgeous, Amanda Jean! That quilt is beautiful in it's simplicity. Makes me curious to know if you plan to make an Ultra Violet (Pantone color of the year) quilt in 2018. You did such a lovely job with this one, I can guess that another might be in your future. :-)
As others have said, I love the 'cabling' that has shown up directly in the middle of the squares. It looks so inviting.
Beautiful quilt and quilting! Do you buy your Kona cotton locally or do you have an online source? I'm having trouble locating 3-4 yards of Kona pepper...
What a beautiful ensemble. I'm not a big pillow person, but those look great!
Such a simple pattern, yet stunning! Love it!
Your quilt is BEAUTIFUL!

Amanda your gingham quilt is inspiring. Where would the pattern be available? Would it be too much to take on as a first time quilter?
Oh, my goodness, it looks gorgeous!
So gorgeous!!!
So pretty!! I just got some Emma and Myrtle fabric and I adore it! :)
This is such a calm and soothing quilt. Really pretty! Love the loopy quilting motif. :-)
I love the simplicity of this room - like country, meets Scandinavian, meets modern! The quilt is lovely.. I'm also drawn to the pom pom garland. Did you make this? If so, do you have instructions somewhere or a pointer to a "how to"? Thanks!
