Seventh Quilt

These quilt blocks have been a blast to make. This was a virtual surprise orange challenge with Pat Sloan. We did not know how much material we needed for the quilt squares until the pattern was posted on Friday the 20th of February. I have a total of 8 blocks completed so far but I will be making at least 1 more. Below is the finished quilt top ready to be sandwiched and machine quilted.

Finally went to Emerald Garden June 24th 2011 to use their long arm to machine quilt this quilt. I sandwiched it with Warm and White 100% cotton batting and used Kint Tut variegated orange thread on the top and bottom. I did an all over pantograph and really like it. I was very intimidated when I quilted this quilt because it had been a long time since I was there using their long arm. In a few areas the quilt was not rolled up enough and the panto rows are on top of one another but it is not bad. I hope to enter this quilt in the next NPC Fair 2011.
