Karen quilted it with a hearts and flowers design, which is a great pattern that doesn't detract from the piecing. I bought a wideback for the backing and it's so nice to have a backing with no seams.
I'm a few months behind making a quilt for a family member. The blocks for Orange Swoon have been cut out for 6 months but other things have got in the way. Friday night I started working on these blocks - they are a huge 24" finished.
12 blocks to go - the original pattern has 9 blocks but I'd like to make this king-size. I've collected 32 different orange fabrics - such a big range in shades of orange.

Hello Lynda,
An orange quilt is quite daring to do, so many lovely tones of orange in the quilt. Just love the Goodnight Irene quilt. Love how you totaled up your friends ages.
Happy days.
