A Friday Finish!

My "Rollercoaster" quilt has been finished for a 

couple of days now....

Quilted with Aurifil #1231

but today the sun came out for me to get some 

pretty photos!


I love everything about this quilt, despite it being 

started during a rather 'down' time of my life....


hence the Rollercoaster name!


I quilted it with a wavy line, 

which you can see quite clearly here...


  It's a little like the track a 

rollercoaster runs on!


I was thrilled to find the backing online,

at a bargain price!

The backing is "Sun-sational" by Maude Asbury

and the label is bordered with a precious scrap from 

special friend!

I bound it with a white spotted black fabric.


The quilt finishes at approximately 54" X 72",


and is now living happily on the back on my sofa!


Happy sewing!

I love this quilt! It's so nice to see it finished and quilted--another beautiful quilt made by you. I love the quilting and since you and I have the same sewing machine now, I'm going to have to ask you for some machine quilting tips.

This turned out beautifully!

Cathy said...

Such an amazing quilt from such an amazing quilter. I love that quilts can hold the memories of a time and space in our lives -- whether good, bad, up or down -- and think the name is such a perfect moniker for this beautiful quilt. The quilting is perfect, but I love that binding that goes with it! All in all, another fabulous finish (and great label)!

Such a beautiful quilt!!!

I'd call it a Fabulous Finish! Love the quilting. It's a machine stitch, right? The serpentine stitch? Or did you use a walking foot to free motion your own waves. In any case, it suits the quilt. I didn't realize the quilt was therapeutic for you - made during a "down time." I hope that's all behind you now, and that you can enjoy looking at this quilt on the back of your sofa, and cuddling under it.

That is really gorgeous. The photos of it are fabulous too.

Karen S said...

This is a lovely finish. How wonderful that a sunny day came along for photographs.
Your quilt is gorgeous and the quilting works so well. I love all the different locations for the photos, too.
Congratulations on a great finish.

Suz J said...

Yay! Terrific finish. It's funny how with some photo angles you can't even see the quilting, and then BAM - there it is, and so obvious! It will certainly make an eye catching display.

Lynda said...

Such a fantastic quilt Susan - I hope it makes you feel fabulously happy.

Catherine said...

Beautiful! I love all the colors. Do you have a pattern? It looks like a great way to use up scraps! Thank you for sharing!

It's really lovely--everything about it--the colors, the prints, the design. The wavy line quilting also suits it well. Bravo!!
