Silk Path quilt now a finish

Good Day and welcome to my blog.  In summer I have more time to sew and quilt and so I have progress and finishes to report.  This week, it's time to feature my Silk Path quilt, following the pattern by Bonnie Hunter.  You can find the pattern HERE.


I used blue and white reproduction fabrics, and I made the quilt about 2/3rds the size of the pattern given.  My 'design floor' is only about 60 inches wide so my quilts tend to be that wide also.  Funny how that works.  This quilt is approximately 60 by 85 inches in size.  After piecing, I sent the quilt to the long arm lady I use, and she did a great job.  I bound the quilt in dark blue fabric saved for this purpose, and it is done!

A closer view:


And a surprise on the back:  Northern lights wide backing, from Backside fabrics:


And the usual (for some quilty blogs) picture of the quilt folded up, on my sewing table.

You did Bonnie's pattern proud. I like how you opted for navy blue and neutral for versus the beige Bonnie used.
