Alphabet Quilt finished!

I got the quilt top done!  And it's on the long arm.  I thought I had thread that was black, white and grey, but I couldn't find any.  So I just used grey.  I think it worked well.  I just did a meander.  I also wrote their last name in it.

Here is the top all finished, quilted and bound. I just used solid black for the binding.

And then the back.  When I found the box that housed this WIP (work in progress) it was heavier than I thought it would have been for having a few quilt blocks in it. That was because I had put some fabric with it I wanted to use!

I had just enough to do the backing for the quilt.  The main piece of the back has music terms on it, and then middle line has piano keys and then some instruments

I did not have enough of the fabric that I used as background to do sashing, so I have some of fabric that is similar, I know it's hard to see in the picture, but the background is black with grey music notes.  The sashing is black with white music notes.

I decided to just do a 2.5" sashing, since that is what many of the blocks used.  

It actually came together really fast.  I am mad at myself for not doing this sooner!

It's spring break! which means lots of time for sewing! I have been going through some of my WIPs (works in progress) and I found this one!  

I realized I never shared any pictures of it!  I shared a few on my instagram, but never all of them.

Here are all the blocks finished and on my design wall.

I started this quilt in 2016! When we were first moved into our new house.  

They are spell it with moda alphabet blocks.  I used a different fabric for each letter.

I started this for a friend that had twins, but the twins are 4, so I think they each need their own! (I'll share those in a bit).

These blocks were found on Moda's website.

I enjoyed making the blocks, they were straight forward.  I would love to use them again to spell something out, but I also like just making it as an alphabet quilt.
