First Commissioned Quilt






I recently finished my first ever commissioned quilt. Its a full size, southwest design. I got the commission a week before Christmas and had to deliver it on Jan.7th, that's only 3 weeks to design, produce, quilt & finish it, but I made the deadline with time to spare. Here are the pics. The middle image is Hopi & the danvers are on each end of the quilt with the dancers images being quilted in the "drop" that goes over the edge of the bed.>

  1. Very nice. I think I would have freaked out with that kind of deadline.

  2. Congratulations. I hope that you weren't too harried over this. I know it would have made me nuts. It's a nice job for one which had to be created so quickly. I hope you explained to the consigner that this was not a normal thing and that you pulled out all stops lest this be expected of you as "normal." Good job!

  3. Wonderful quilt! You did a great job with it. I love the contrast of the center medallion and the flow of the figures at the ends.

  4. Inspiring that you could accept and complete this commission within such time constraints. As I look at this on New Year's day, am thinking that a resolution to not complicate and overthink, and instead just do is in order for me. Thanks so much for sharing.
