I used Lost and Found by My Mind's Eye for Riley Blake and the original Garden Fence tutorial from Hyacinth Quilt Designs. (I used the revised Garden Fence block for my dad's quilt.) This quilt uses 35 blocks that finish at 12 inches. I then added to narrow borders in a red Moda grunge fabric and then added an ivory border to make the quilt a bit bigger.
The backing is a gray flat sheet from Target. I used a gray bias plaid binding.
My friend, Kayli, did the quilting for me. She used various floral motifs from the prints on the front.
I especially like the double flowers she free-handed.
In the thin red border, she quilted these swirls.
And the outer border is made up of piano key quilting. You can also see a bit of the binding in this pic.
In addition to the quilt, I made a few pillowcases using this awesome tutorial, which is my go-to for pillowcase-making.
It felt so good to finally finish this project. And I think my mom was happy to have something new to go in her newly remodeled bedroom.
