The Chevron Quilt

This is a quilt I made for my bosses little girl. Once he announced they were having a girl I asked about the bedroom colors. Gold, black and white. Then I added some pinks and purples. I had a blast doing this quilt. The pattern I used was Charming Chevrons by Christa over at christaquilts.com. it was such a fun pattern to put together.

I got started on it, and for some reason, I set it aside. I swear it took me forever to do. Once I got the top completed, then I started to quilt it. I used glide thread, which has a bit of sheen to it. I was undecided on what color to use, and as I asked my different quilting groups, I came across a lady who had done one with white thread. I loved it. I decided to go with the white thread and I love the way that it blended into my colors.

This  picture shows some of the close-up quilting. I chose to do some simple curls. I really like the look of this.

I love the back of the quilt. It turned out really well.

More of the quilting. The glide thread was great to work with.

Usually I will do the binding by hand, once I have Stitched it onto the front, but this time I Stitched it by machine.

I really like the way the stitching showed on the back. I used a wide white on white backing, and because the quilt had a lot of white, I chose to use warm and white batting, which is 100% cotton.

I really love this quilt. I want to make another one, but in a queen size for my bed.

I am pleased to say this is the first finish of quarter 3 finish along list I made. Really makes me feel good to finish a quilt I have had in progress for a while.

I would like to mention about the thread. I use glide thread (#filtecglidethread). It is a thread that is used for embroidery and a lot of Longarm erst use it. I follow Judi Madsen aka green fairy quilts and notice this is a thread that she uses. I got my thread from www.terylloy.com located in St. George, UT.   I got very good and fast service.
