Eva's graduation quilt came back from the quilter just in time for her graduation next week. I still have to sew on the binding, but I thought I would share the finished quilt.
For those of you who are new, this quilt was inspired by the calendar year, and all the activities Eva and I have done over all the years she has been in elementary and middle school.
The idea for the quilt came from Sheri over at A Quilting Life. Sheri does a yearly quilt-along, and her blocks of the month for this year are surrounded by a log cabin design. I took Sheri's concept and put my own featured block in the center, commemorating an activity or theme for each month.
I thought it was fitting to use a couple of fabric collections by Sheri and Chelsi since I was basically using her block idea! The colorful and cheerful fabrics are perfect for a quilt for a 14-year-old girl.
I love this quilting design, which is called Mod Circles. I think it is exactly right for this quilt.
Now, to get that binding on. Hope she loves it!

What is the finished size? I can’t tell from the photo.

Oh, that is the most beautiful quilt, and so special for Eva! She will love and treasure it, I’m sure. Still amazed that you got it finished with all the unusual chaos that has been in your life what with the new carpeting, multiple dr appointments and treatments, and even a quick vacation with Ahren. Way to go! 🙂
