It measures 72 inches squared.
Next week ...... basting and quilting.
I've decided to hand quilt it so it may take me a little longer than a week.
It's always nice to have some hand stitching on the go.
Don't you think?

I ♥ this so much! light blue and red and pink? lovely!
These colors are to die for! I love this so much I honestly think I'm going to purchase the same colors and make this quilt! I didn't get in the quilt a long for this one, but that's ok. Seeing this quilt has pretty much sealed the deal that I will make one eventually! Which fabric line did you use for this? This is absolutely gorgeous! Can't wait to see the finished product!
This is the most lovely from the quilt along I’ve seen sofar! Love the colours and the prints!
I love your combo :) looks great!
That looks awesome! I can't believe you're going to hand quilt it. I'm so impressed!
Stunning! A beautiful combination of fabrics. Makes me want to pull out my reds and aquas right now!
It's absolutely stunning!
Yes - it's nice to hand sew in front of the tv :)
I was toying with the idea of joining this quilt-a-long, but I've already made 2 quilts in this sort of style already (though with only 3 stripes per square) so I thought I'd give it a miss.
Yours looks lovely! With all that pink, though, it would never find a taker in my house full of galumphing boys!!!
Beautiful Andi,
I love to have something to handsew, doesn't matter what, just to be able to pick it up when I can't get to the "real" sewing.
Beautiful! This is a great quilt, really lovely colors. Hand quilting? Wow!
Rita
Just stunning!!! Beautiful color combination too!
...but she's giving us 2 weeks to do the quilting, so it's definitely possible for you to give it a go with hand quilting. have you thought of 'big stitch' quilting? I do that sometimes and use perle cotton and a big needle. My fingers are so used to tiny stitches it takes a bit to let them know it's ok to go big. Adds a wonderful texture and I get to play with nice colors.

This looks fantastic!
I love Red, Blue and White together:)

This is gorgeous Andi!!! I love it. You must tell me your hand quilting trick...I have a big piece on the go at the moment but I find it SO hard to get stuck into...no patience!
Your quilttop looks great, very fresh!!
How are you planning on handquilting it? Please post about it. It seems quite big!
Wow!!! I just love those colours together. It really is lovely Andi.
I love these colours together...what a beautiful job you have done. Handquilting will be wonderful.
Gorgeous....Love the Combo.
cheers
This is wonderful! That big graphic red print really makes it funky.
This is beautiful! How fantastic!
it is gorgeous! I admire thoe of you that do hand sewing. Except for my "yo-yo" project, I don't. LOL. I say, I spent a lot for that sewing machine, so I am gonna use it.
Your quilt is gorgeous already but will be quite stunning with hand quilting. I'm so impressed!
Love the red and blue! It looks stellar girl. Love your new shelves too! Amazing what a little studio make over can do.
so pretty!! the best color combo!
