I can breathe a sigh of relief because Jeff's double Slice quilt is done except for the quilt label. He wants me make one on the embroidery machine.
It was hard getting a picture of the whole quilt because it's so large. I used two layer cakes from the Birchbark Lodge line by Moda. It made a very generous queen. The blocks are set 8x10. If I ever make this quilt again I will make an extra block and set them 9x9. My friend and long-arm quilter, Reggie, quilted the center of the quilt with her free-motion stippling. She quilted the borders with oak and maple leaves. The outer border is from the Birchbark line. The backing is black/brown swirls. There is a great tutorial on making a Double Slice quilt at Missouri Star Quilt Company.
The Girls, Dottie & Olive, are totally curious about anything new that appears in their house. They sniffed the quilt and gave it a little snooze test and approved with flying colors ~~

Now I have to pull out another UFO and see if I can finish it. This could go on all year if I'm not careful!
Have a great day!
