Friday Finish: Sunkissed Grannies

This might be my oldest WIP to date. Started back in the Granny Square craze. Yeah, that old.



And small. Back when I believed people when they told me that a 44X54 quilt was plenty big enough for a lap quilt. I've learned that lap quilt is a relative term! Lap quilts in this house have to be at least 72" long. Preferably 90". I guess twin-sized blankets are our lap quilts.

 Two of my favorite blocks, but really, I love them all.



Sunshine is great for showing off the quilting. I was about to toss this picture when I realized that. 


Quilted and bound and going to a great friend. Checking it off the 1QFAL list.

    Lovely to get those oldies out and finished. This on is quite attractive, and that quilting photo is wonderful--as is the quilting. Visiting from Finish it up Friday.

    Your quilt is so very happy! You're right about the sunshine picture - it really shows the quilting well and is perhaps the best picture in the group!

    Awesome! I absolutely love the quilting. We also like big lap quilts. This is about the size I hang on my wall.

    This is such a happy quilt, and I like it so much. We like bigger lap quilts at our house too - my hubby would call this a baby quilt :) The quilting is fabulous and I love the picture that shows it off!

    The quilting in the sashing is my favorite! Such a perky and bright spring quilt.

    Lap quilts have to be that big in our house too. 6'3" husband, I'm 5,9" kids are all going to be tall, and we cover our laps up to our chins anyway.
