He waited for it for 10 years !
But the waiting was worth it !
I used cotton batting, I love the look of the quilts made with cotton batting after washing .
The quilt is huge, 80×92 (2×2.3 m)
and stitching all those pebbles took me 3 days,
and a lot of thread. I used the three green spools of King Tut.
Detail of quilting.
It was very easy to quilt the square following the stripes in fabric.
It was very easy to quilt the square following the stripes in fabric.
For the back I used a green poplin which is thinner than the chiffon I usually use for backing. The batting was thin too, still the quilt weights a lot…
We are waiting for fall to use the quilt. Now here is a hot weather, it wasn’t a pleasure at all to keep the quilt in my lap for three days until I finished it.
Do you like the quilt ? My husband loves it.
Have a great week.
Have a great week.

Si cum este vorba despre ziua de nastere a sotului tau, un om special, care am inteles ca este mai mult decat un sot, este un prieten adevarat,te rog sa-i transmiti un "La multi ani" si din partea mea. Ii doresc sa fie sanatos si la randu-i, sa fie pentru totdeauna "invelit" cu dragoste.
Geta, my hubbie is Scottish and has a kilt, but I'm sure he would be jealous on your hubbies quilt.
Enjoy, love and see you….Riet

It is stunning, and I never guessed that the blocks were made for a striped fabric !
I assumed that you had pieced all of the different strips !
Wow, your pebble quilting is just so perfect !
I wish you could come over and teach me !
I WILL learn this technique !
It's fabulous! The colours and the quilting make this quilt amazing. That's a ton of hours in all that quilting!

Draga mea Geta, ce frumusete, cata bucurie sa-ti putem admira munca, chiar si de aici, de departe. Sa-ti fie bine, draga mea, si sa te bucuri de camera ta decorata dupa cum ti-ai dorit.
I am sure he is really pleased with his birthday gift – it is just really beautiful. Almost want that colder weather so you can use it now.
