In 2020 I'd gone to Amarillo, TX with a friend and as we headed back home, we stopped at a quilt shop in Clovis, NM. The first thing we saw when we walked in was this quilt on the wall and I don't know what it was, but we both instantly fell in love with it and had the quilt shop owner cut kits for us. I don't generally like making quilts from kits because I like selecting my own fabrics, but I loved everything about this one.
There was something about the slightly shabby, faded Americana aesthetic that spoke to me. And then it sat in a project bin for 5 years until I finally decided to tie into it in February.
The blocks are big and I didn't enjoy piecing them all that much, but they were easy and came together quickly
I've never been drawn to cheater fabrics, but I loved this one and it came in wide yardage and was on sale so I used it on the back
I'm tickled to have this one stitched together
It'll be just right on the 2nd guest room bed
Jackie and Sandy quilted a design called Geranium across it
It finishes at 88" x 100"
and I love the end result!

It's beautiful. LOVE those fabrics. The geranium quilting design was a great choice for it.
I like that quilt too! What size is it? A finish always feels so wonderful, after it was a kit for 5 years, happy stitching!
Love the way you are exploring new (I think?) quilt photo options.

Love the softer colors! It’s lovely!
What an absolutely gorgeous quilt, you did an amazing job! You are right, the shabby Americana looks, there's just something about it. I dont think I saw one fabric in your pictures I didn't like. Just perfect!
That is a lovely quilt. The soft colors make it look as if it would be extra cuddly. I'm also not a kit person but ya never know!! One day I might be stricken as well.
Beautiful quilt! Those are big blocks, but the fabric is so pretty you can really see them all.
Very nice, guests will love sleeping under this beauty
