Calico Garden Sew Along - The Big Finish!!

 

"THE BIG FINISH!"

Welcome to Week Nineteen of the 

"CALICO GARDEN"

Sew Along!

YaY!!!

It's the big finish post:)

If you have been following along

you know that each week I have bee

doing step by step tutorials

 on each and every block for the quilt.

We made the 

Calico Garden Quilt

90" x 90"

We made the quilt with my latest fabric

 collection called Calico...

I hope that you all have 

enjoyed the process...

      your templates and your fabric kit!!

If you are just starting up now 

and you still need a kit ...

just do a quick google search for 

"Calico Garden Quilt Kit"

to find shops who still have some left.

We used the

Sew Simple Shapes

Before I show you all the pictures 

of my finished quilt I thought that

 I would show you what my quilt

 looked like when I pinned and glue basted 

the remaining appliqués after the

 bottom sections were sewn together.

I just used my design wall 

as a giant design board...haha

And the following are close ups

 of what they looked like

 right before applique...

in no particular order:)

Okie Dokie!

Now for the photos of my finished quilt:)

I'm sew happy with it and Juli did

 an amazing job on the quilting!

I took my first photo 

here at my garden gate...

and I think it goes perfectly

in my cottage garden!

The colors of the fabric reflect

the colors of the garden flowers:)

Then I laid my quilt out on the 

grass for some top down shots

 so that you could see the

 beautiful quilting in each block.

I still need to add the door nob button

 onto the door of the potting shed 

and some buttons on her shoes!!

But as I've said several times

 you can choose if you sew your buttons

 on before or after the quilting.

It's all up to you because 

"you are the boss of your own quilt"

Then right at dusk I carried my quilt

 to the upstairs deck for even more photos:)

I have enjoyed making my 

Calico Garden Quilt

so very much!!!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart

for sewing with me and for 

making your quilt...

and for all of your many many 

very kind words about this quilt 

and my design

and especially my Calico fabric!

It just makes me so happy 

to know how much you love it 

and I really thank you kindly.

Our next sew along is coming up!

Bee Vintage fabric collection
