I finished the strawberry/purple themed quilt for my sister-in-law. I was able to deliver it to her this past weekend in Indiana. She immediately wrapped up in it as she sat in her recliner.
This is a close-up before washing. I might have 'missed' with the modern design for the top. I noticed she had some more traditional quilts displayed on her walls. (I hadn't been in their home for some time.) She especially liked the strawberry backing though.
This is the back. The quilt measures 60" by 70". The batting is Dream Wool. The quilting rows are 2 1/2 inches apart as I wanted to maximize the loft of the batting.
Here, it is washed, fluffy dry, and ready for snuggling.

Great finish! Looks so cozy. Love the quilting.
Your sister-in-laws immediate reaction shows just how much she loves the quilt. I think the quilting goes super well with the quilt design. Beautiful.
It is a beautiful quilt. I like the colors. It went together very well, and it is obvious that she loved getting it.
It's gorgeous! Your sister is very lucky. I love how you quilted it.
It is a quilt to treasure! Very pretty. I can see why your sister wanted to wrap herself in it.
Gorgeous!
Beautiful! You may have hit the bulls eye and made her a convert to modern.
What a beautiful quilt and I agree, purple is hard to photograph!
Thanks for sharing.

A truly lovely quilt, the design, and colour selection perfect. It will be treasured forever. Cheers from Jean
It's so beautiful. I love the channel quilting. I want to try using a wavy stitch like that.
