The Anniversary Quilt

Back in January I posted a list of quilts I wanted to make this year. One of those quilts was an anniversary quilt to be gifted next year. It's finished!

She was quilted by one of the long arm quilters at Calico Point. I think all the employees know how to use the long arm machine. I don't know the name of this quilting design but I thought it would look very nice on this quilt, and it does.

I used a white backing fabric which shows the design better than the front side does.

She measures 94" square.

Here is a link to more information about the anniversary quilt.
