done!!!


 



I started this quilt on Wednesday and I finished it about 3 this afternoon. Yahoo!!! I was fueled by plenty of coffee and mountain dew. :) So much I could say about this one, but I'll just let the photos speak for themselves. One thing I do have to say is hurray for machine binding! I fell in love with it all over again today.

The quilt measures 60" x 72".

Happy HAPPY Monday to you!

  20. Orchard Cove Photography,

    The numbers fabric is half of an IKEA duvet cover. I've had it in my stash for years! So glad I finally used it!

    Love that stitching pattern!!!! I use that one a lot myself. I started doing it before I got the Sweet 16....used my Juki (like yours?) and it always went so well!! The results were great but I really like how you have applied it to a more contemporary look!! Stunning!!! Hugs, Doreen

  46. hat's a lovely quilt! I wonder how you manage to quilt it on a regular sewing machine... I', working on my first quilt ever, inspired by your Stacked Coins Baby Quilt, and I'm about to go to que quilting part... I'm just not sure whether I should prewash the batting, and how am I going to quilt it on my sewing machine... :)

    ReplyDelete
  47. Gorgeous. I love the spiral quilting. I have been wanting to try that on one of mine -- done it on pillows and small quilts, but never one so large. Yours is lovely.

  53. You've done it again! Fantastic! The quilting pattern is perfect! And thanks for posting the picture of your set up for quilting. I am about to move to the dining room table to quilt a larger quilt. I wish I had a table to drop my sewing machine down into particularly when quilting. BUT seeing how beautiful your quilting is with your machine set atop your table gives me a goal to aspire to! Thanks!

  54. Another beauty Ms. Crazy! I love the backing too -- I tried to get some several years ago for backings but I was too late! ;-(

    ReplyDelete
  55. Oh my word!!! I love it,I am such a fan of the quilts you make and your blog is a daily read... but there is just too much of yours that I would like to do and I don't like having to decide which I should and which I don't have the time or fabric for - there's nothing for it.. I'll have to take a year off work :o)

    ReplyDelete
  56. how did I miss reading this... It is gorgeous! The quilting pattern is so cute! I need get more practice on that.The backing numbers fabric is super cute!! Is that from IKEA?

  73. Hi Amanda Jean,

    I was just browsing the internet and came across this information about YOU on the Quilty site....

    "Amanda Jean Nyberg is an author, designer, and blogger who practically quilts in her sleep. She is co-author of Sunday Morning Quilts (Stash Books, 2012). She can be found on the Web at www.CrazyMomQuilts.blogspot.com where you can read all about how she is living up to her blog name. She lives in Wisconsin with her husband and three kids."

    I heartily agree that you practically "quilt in your sleep". You are becoming a celebrity. Congratulations!!

  82. May I ask how far apart the straight quilting lines are? I've been trying something similar but I think it's become too compacted and tight.

    ReplyDelete
  83. It's wonderful!! Congrats!
