Pattern by MSQC. I made my 4th quilt between Nov, 2015 and Jan, 2016. The fabric is Fancy and Fabulous by Riley Blake; Kona Snow for the background; Moda white for the backing; the batt is Hobbs Heirloom wool. The finished size is 81" X 92.5", which is fine side-to-side but too short for my queen bed. I made 2 pillow case sets to match and one set has the flange trim, very cute. Jenny did a tutorial on flanges. Lessons learned: always check pattern fabric requirements and if they don't look right they probably aren't, and Hobbs Heirloom wool batt is not even close to how nice Quilter's Dream wool batt is. My long-arm quilter doesn't like the Hobbs at all and just loves the Quilter's Dream, which I switched to for later quilts. Love wool batts for autumn, winter and spring here in the Seattle area, and silk batt is perfect all summer long except for those 5 days of summer when it hits the 90's. Usually not 5 days in a row.
