Finally finished Jacob’s quilt.\u00a0 I’ve worked on this off and\"\"<\/a> on for ne<\/span>arl<\/span>y a year.\u00a0 The fabric is scraps from <\/span>making<\/span> 100% cotton shirts for him during the past several years.<\/span><\/p>\n

The batting is Hobb’s Poly Down.\u00a0 It is incredibly easy to hand quilt and I love the low loft and light weight of the finished quilt.\u00a0 The quilting is an original design and the border quilting was inspired by a Celtic coloring book.<\/span><\/p>\n

The quilt is 6″ longer and wider than a king-sized sheet. Jake has his great grandfather’s tall, antique iron double bed so this quilt will reach nearly to the floor all around. He’ll use it as a bedspread and warm cover.<\/span><\/p>\n
