I make a lot of quilts. A Lot of quilts. A LOT. I give most of them away. I decided to make a Nickel Quilts quilt for a young man named Jacob for his high school graduation. I pulled out all of my cream and brown scrappy nickel squares and started piecing. I was ready to add borders when I received the shocking news: Jacob grew nearly a foot and my quilt wasn't tall enough for him! I pieced a few more rows but got sidetracked and this quilt ended up on a shelf, unfinished.
I recently found this project, quickly finished it up, and delivered it to his mother with my apologies. Apologies? Yes, apologies. You see, Jacob graduated from high school seven years ago. Seven!
This finished quilt is now long enough to cover the tallest man I know in person:
I had fun quilting swirls all over this quilt and used Mudpies thread from FabuLux:
This thread is shades of brown and blended perfectly into this quilt!
So, congratulations Jacob... a few years late. I hope you enjoy your quilt!
