I'm almost finished with my Latte Quilt, just have to finish sewing on the binding. I took this class to learn how to do large designs in multiple hoopings. I certainly know how now! This is a king size quilt.
I finished the binding and added a sleeve and label that I embroidered.

20463I am truly in awe! An outstanding undertaking; congratulations. This qullt reflects MANY, MANY hours of work, not only in the actual stitching out of the designs, but also the correct placement and 'hoopings' for each element. I did blocks for a quilt (quilt as you go) but they are still (sadly) lying piled up and not made up into a quilt.. Greetings, Patricia

Thanks, I took the class in 2010. I tend to plan and think about things way too much so I let it sit for awhile, put it together in 2011. Had it quilted in 2013, and now I'm binding. Hope it's not worn out by the time I finish.
109780It is stunning how lucky you are to be able to take classes, the end resul it great.
Hugs pam.

Lizell must love you very much. This is not hard work but a lot of work. I can't imagine parting with mine.

I'm still sewing on the binding, then the sleeve and label. Having a firm deadline should help.

Thanks. There is a book called 'Latte Quilt' by Kerrie Hay. The designs come on a CD included in the book. I did all of these using a 5x7 hoop.

52686Again...an amazing job...did you do this as quilt as you go...or did you piece the blocks, add the backing and batting and then quilt? It is truly a work of art...

The 14-inch blocks were embroidered then pieced the top then sandwiched and quilted (by a paid long-arm quilter). Thank you

Nice...thanks so much for your explanation of how it was put together....I was wondering if the blocks and quilting were done in-the hoop...your long-arm quilter did an exceptional job!
318455I LOVE your quilt top, it is absolutely beautiful. The way you chose to arrange the blocks sets each one off so perfectly. GREAT JOB!!!!!
