Friday Finish and a Giveaway

I did it! The matchstick quilting is done and the quilt is bound.

I’m glad it’s done. I’m not sure if I will ever do another throw sized quilt with matchstick stitching, but I do know I’m not going to make the pattern again.
So, here’s a giveaway. Just leave a comment below and I’ll pick a random winner. The winner will receive the original pattern and a template for making the octagon shapes. It’s a fun pattern.

I'll pick a winner on Monday afternoon.

  1. Well your finish turned out really cute! I can see why making it one time might be enough though. Love the colors too.

  2. Absolutely beautiful! I have always wanted to try matchstick quilting, but I will probably start with something like a table topper.

  5. I love it! Love the Comma fabric and love the quilting although I agree it is tedious to do and also uses LOADS of thread!

  10. I think you are brave. I don't think a match stick quilt would be my first project. Maybe a table runner? Love your quilt though. Lots of work.

  13. There's just something about certain patterns... you know that once you've made it, you're never going back there again! Mine was a houndstooth in grey & white... so much trimming of blocks! Love the Comma prints and your matchstick quilting is fab!

  17. The colors you used for your octagons are some of my favorites. I also liked your use of the white background.
