Hi there! Today I am ready to share my finished quilt! Yay!! This has been such a fun Block of the Month to do with you guys! I love how it turned out!
NOTE:
These patterns are not "free", so you will need to purchase a kit to receive the fabric + patterns. The Raspberry & Cream BOM was designed & written by Marsha McCloskey. We are simply sharing our progress and giving a few tips on completing your blocks as you sew along using your purchased pattern.
This is definitely one of the most "pieced" quilts I have done. Lots of little pieces and lots of blocks! I'm not going to lie, when it was ready to be quilted I was nervous that it might have puckers or gathers, but it didn't! It was really flat and quilted beautifully!
This quilt is giant!! I guess I didn't realize how big it would be when I was making it, but after it was all said and done - I couldn't believe how big it was. I did place it on a queen size bed and it is a perfect fit.
I had the quilting and binding done by Primrose Cottage Quilts - and I backed it with a really soft minky! I used the 90 wide backing so I didn't have to piece it - which made it even better!!
I decided to go with minky because this quilt will be gifted, and I'm hoping since it has such a cuddly back, that the person will give it lots of love! I don't know about you, but I make my quilts to be used and loved! I spent so much time and put a lot of love into making this quilt - and want it to be cherished!

Lindsey, you did a marvelous job on this quilt!! If your friend decides they don't want it, I'll gladly provide my address for you to send it down South!!
Great job!!
Absolutely gorgeous ... Colors...Design. You name it, it is gorgeous. I love it and have been following along (but, unfortunately, not sewing along). I want to make it and it's on my "to do" in 2018. Wish I'd gotten all the fabric, though. Congratulations on a thing of beauty.
This quilt is impressive! I really like the minky on the back.
I am participating in this BOM and have completed the pieced blocks. I have cut the yellow fabric to set the blocks on point in the middle. Throughout the time period for the BOM, I looked forward to seeing your completed blocks and have found the shots of the completed quilt inspiring me to go ahead and complete the quilt - however, Halloween costumes must come first!
Will you be running another BOM next year? and will that BOM be sold as a kit? I found the concept of two kits very budget friendly.
This quilt is gorgeous - the palette is lovely! And I like the quilting motif, too!
What a lovely quilt. I have only found your blog today and would have enjoyed joining in on this one. Happy Stitching.
