Yayyyy! I finished my oldest daughter’s college quilt and gifted it to her! It was such a fun one to put together and she loves her college quilt.

I don’t typically buy kits, but sometimes things just have to happen! I bought this Then Came June Color Chaos quilt kit about a year ago or so. I had asked my daughter if she liked it, and she said yes, so it was good to know that she would like it before I even started it!

The Process

I felt like I spent SO many smaller chunks of time on this quilt! At times I really wasn’t sure if I could finish it in any reasonable amount of time. Trimming and more trimming really got to be a lot at times, but breaking it up into smaller chunks really did help.

Taking it home to work on also helped move things along. I don’t have a sewing machine set up at home, so a few times when I knew I’d have a few hours in a week, I’d bring home my machine and cutting mat, etc. and got to work. It was fun putting the rows and quilt top together, that part was quick!!

Quilting

And as soon as I finished the top I zipped right over to Olive Juice Quilts to have it quilted. I did not get creative at all on the quilting and chose the same pantograph that Meaghan (Then Came June) used for the same quilt. Why change anything when it’s already so beautiful?!

So when I got the phone call to pick it up, I dashed over and got straight to binding! I’m so happy with how it turned out. My daughter loves it. We put it in the wash and straight into the dryer after taking pictures – and now it’s in full snuggle mode.
