Memory Quilt - Finished!

Here is the finished top! That's my husband and 14-year-old behind the quilt holding it up. It was a beautiful day, but a bit windy so it was difficult to get a still picture. This will do, however.

So many fabrics in this baby, each using just about 1/4 yard of fabric (plus 1/4 yard Kona white, of course). There's Joel Dewberry, some Cotton + Steel, Tula Pink, Amy Butler, Art Gallery, Pearl Bracelets. Each a little something to add.

I was able to put together PDF instructions for piecing the block, as well as yardage requirement for the entire quilt. I'm kinda proud of myself, because it's been so long so I've had the time or inclination to do something like this. In any case, here it is -- click on the link under the block!

Memory blocks - no, I haven't forgotten

Yes, I know. I've been out of it for a long time. I haven't done much piecing of quilt blocks, but I have done some garment sewing (jeans!) that I haven't shared here. I did manage to finish this quilt top, however. As pictured here, I still had one more row to add to the right side so that it ended up being a 4 x 4 setting.


The block is called "memory," and I super-sized it up to 18 inches. I can't remember where I found the piecing instructions for this block, but I will post this information next time along with a picture of the entire quilt.
