Chocolate Figs Quilt

It's finally finished! I worked on this quilt for almost three months. It is machine pieced and hand quilted. I used Moda Bella Solids Brown and Butterscotch and Rose charm packs by Fig Tree Quilts also by Moda with a Bella Solids Red binding.


Here is a close-up of the stitching and backing.

 
And this is what it looked like in the frame before I started the hand quilting.

  1. It is beautiful. What size is it and how many charm packs did you use. I really like it.

  2. The finished size is 48 x 59 inches. I used 90 of the solid brown charms and 90 of the prints. For each pair of squares sewn together diagonally you get two half square triangle squares. I squared them up to 4.5 inches and they finished at 4 inches.

  3. That's 90 squares, not 90 charm packs :-)

  4. I am really curious about your quilting frame.... Have never seen one like it. Can you give me any info on it?

  5. Sandie - I bought the quilting frame from a seller on ebay. They make them themselves and as far as I know it's the only place they are sold. Here's the link to their ebay listing....
