The Quilter’s Bed Now Has A Quilt

You know the story about the cobbler’s kids, right? That they never have shoes?  Well my bed has never had a quilt made by me.  I had one that my grandmother made me (and put it away), I have had one that my MIL bought from a department store, but never one that I have made.  In the whole ten years that I have been quilting.

Mother’s day 2009, my husband bought me a FQ pack of the Sultry fabric from Basic Grey.  I found the pattern “Emma’s Legacy” by Miss Rosie’s Quilt Co. I did adjust it where the lines are side-to-side, vs up and down.

My friend Susan quilted it for me.  I got it back on Saturday.  Last night I trimmed it and today I put the binding on it.  Don’t act like I am fast; I put it on by machine and it only took a little over two hours.

I couldn’t wait to take it up to my bedroom and take a photo with my new bedroom set that I got over the summer.  I will be taking it off in a bit and putting it away until after next Monday’s guild meeting.

Emma’s Legacy Top Done

Last Saturday (has it really been a week already??!!??), I finished my Emma’s Legacy top.  It is not like the pattern from Miss Rosie’s Quilt company that it is based from.  For one, the outer border is a piano key border and not a solid fabric.  Second, there is only inner and outer borders on three sides – the top will be a pillow tuck and then just drop on the sides and bottom.  Lastly, the diamonds are going side to side vs. up and down from the pattern. 

Emma’s Legacy Sneak Peak

Here is a peak of my Emma’s Legacy quilt (pattern by Miss Rosie’s Quilt Company).  I have only one more piano key border to make and then I will be done with the top.

I won’t be able to take a picture until Saturday’s bee since I will need major help holding it up for a photo…  it is slightly larger than a queen-sized quilt – approximately 96” x 112”.  It has enough for a pillow tuck plus a 8+” drop from the mattress edge. 

Yes, this one is for MY bed.  I am going to order backing fabric and have it quilted by my friend Susan.  VERY soon.  I want to be sleeping under it by no later than July.  Maybe then I can persuade my husband we need a new bed.

The fabric in the top is Sultry by Basic Grey (Moda).  I got the Fat Quarter bundle for Mother’s day last year and then ordered some honey buns to make the piano key border.

I would love help with naming the quilt though.  Emma’s Legacy was the pattern I based the quilt off (making some changes, of course) and the only Emma I know is a pug.  Any ideas?
