I wrestled the Kaffe fabric Trip Around the World quilt up on my double design wall. It finished at 77.5" x 96.5".
The backing fabric is a Kaffe wide backing. It is a really soft sateen.
18 of the fabrics are Kaffe's designs, one is a Brandon Mably print (red stripe) and one is a Martha Negley (red cherries).
This view shows how much of the double design wall (96" x 84") is covered by the quilt.
I decided to pick the Jonquils because we are supposed to get 3" of snow from early morning through 10 a.m. The largest snowfall on record for April 17th is 1/2" so we will break the record if it really happens. I don't know if the 2 buds will open but I figured they were safer in the house than under the snow.
Lovely finish--it looks all ruffle-y--so pretty...so much movement... I have some opened daffodils shivering in the 31 degrees this morning...and one lone yellow tulip ready to open--but wisely hasn't yet--it is right sheltered in a corner near my front door..
I bet your flowers open mine usually do. I do the same thing if a cold spell or snow is expected bring the flowers inside - you will enjoy using the quilt and looking at it
Your quilt is beautiful. That design is on my bucket list. We got 10 inches of snow here two days ago (I live East of Albuquerque) and that is really late in the year as well, not to mention that 10 inches for us is a lot. Your flowers are really pretty.
A lovely finish, Wanda. Using those beautiful strong prints and your close attention to banding the colors makes this such a stunning quilt. I love sateen on quilt backs. So soft. Yellow flowers announce spring, don't they? Too bad the weather isn't listening.
I agree with Linda; that quilt is juicy! Some day I will do one of these. Outside we are getting our predicted 3" right now. And my daffs are sad. I picked some a few days ago so we are enjoying them.
Wanda~ It's a thrill to see your quilt all finished, another beautifully designed quilt. Happy to know it will grace your bed, I'm sure you are proud of this one too.
Did you get your snow shower ? Happy you rescued your jonquils...

This one is a real gem. Just gorgeous. All the colors just drip with juiciness. It is amazing that a humble square can accomplish so much.

The quilt turned out absolutely beautiful! We are forecasted to get maybe 3" of snow today.
