Hello Everyone,
I have finally finished my big Weathervane Quilt!! The last time I posted about it, or at least the last one I could find, was here. So it has come a long way.
Not sure where this one will end up, but it is with me for now. So let's take a peek...
Beautiful colors orange, blue, green, brown, and white.
Do you see some Katy Jump Rope?
I had found this backing a while ago and thought it was just perfect. The colors and the design.
The borders are all made up of "logs". Simple and easy design.
Because of the busyness of the fabric and pattern, I quilted it with and edge to edge design using a variegated orange thread. The design that I chose was a very traditional Baptist Fan. If you click on the photo you may be able to see the quilting better.
The binding is Kona Cotton Coffee and can be found here. I had debated long and hard about what fabric I should use for the binding. And after auditioning a few, this was definitely the right choice... what do you think?
The complete quilt... TA DA!! I love it and am so glad I can cross this one off my to finish list. The pattern is from Glad Creations and is called Weathervane.
Don't forget, there are only 3 days for the special pricing on the 1930s fabrics! They are all marked down to $6.75 per yard. Just click here to take a peek.
Until Next Time...

Wow. This really is an amazing quilt! Thanks for the inspiration!
Yet another stunning quilt from you!! It looks like its quite a bit of work putting it together, but its really worth it :o)
Oh, it's great. I love how it all works together so perfectly -- pattern and fabrics. And yes, love the katie Jump Rope in there!
Perfect color combination and I love Katie Jump Rope! This is the sort of quilt I just want to wrap up in and read a book.
Wow lot of wonderful colours and all the different fabrics is very nice togther.
I am not sure if I would dare to make one similar but is so nice when you see the outcome.. ( I hope you understand what I mean?)
I love this quilt. Do you sell just the pattern.
I do see the Katie Jump Rope! It's a beautiful quilt!
Not sure where this one will end up
Sounds like you need my address...
That looks like a great stash buster type of quilt. Great job coordinating the fabrics.
It's wonderful, Jackie! What a great feeling, yes??
It's just beautiful Jackie! :0)
I've always loved Katie Jump Rope and it looks adorably cute in your quilt. I love the pattern.
Wonderfully happy quilt Jackie...Its georgeous.
I love everything about this quilt...the fabric and the pattern are both wonderful...I agree perfect binding too...and love the backing as well!
This is one cool and colorful quilt! Love it!
Another gorgeous quilt! You have a nice eye for color and placement. I really love the log border on this quilt. It gives it that bit of whimsy that goes so well with the the design and fabric collection.
It looks wonderful Jackie! So cheerful. :-) Have a happy day!
This is one of those timeless quilts, kind of old fashioned, yet new fabric lines. I saw that kind of sashing with 9 patch cornerstones about 30 years ago in a magazine and finally used it a couple years ago. It adds a lot to the quilt.
that is just stunning congrats on the finish must feel soooo good.
a vintage look...so lovely quilt...great Jackie!!!
I love this -- it's so cheerful and bright and that setting is fabulous!
Great job with the fabric selection. It's a very interesting pattern.
I love it!
i like how the sashing runs into each other to create the nine patch. and how very little of the white is used but just enough to separate the blocks. very pretty. all about the fabric.
This quilt is spectacular. Some of my favorite individual patterns are ones I've bought from Glad Creations. (and I haven't made any of them yet).
I must admit I didn't recognize your quilt as one of their patterns. Your fabric selection was different from their usual dark fabrics. This is a wonderful variation, Jackie!
This is a stunning, colourful quilt - I love the simple quilting on it too.
Oh Jackie -- it's absolutely gorgeous. I love Katie Jump Rope and you've done it proud!
What a fun happy quilt! The all over quilting is perfect for it!!
That's a very special quilt, and I love the colours!

Oh, Jackie, love the color and brightness of your quilt. Great job! Listened to 2 of your podcasts today while driving across town. Again, thanks for sharing these with us. Take care!
This is fantastic, Jackie! I adore these fabrics and you turned them into a very beautiful quilt. The backing is really fun too :)
Oh so gorgeous!! I would be happy to give it a home :) I LOVE your choice of binding. I'm loving solids more and more these days.
Ahh Jackie this quilt is a stunner! I love the pattern, and the colours you have used, the binding is perfect and the backing is gorgeous! Love it. Is this one going to take pride of place in your home somewhere? xo
Hey Jackie, this quilt is divine! One of my most favourites, ever. I love the design, the fabrics, the border, the quilting... everything! Just divine.
I love how all the colors work together! it is beautiful!!
I recognised Katy Jump Rope immediately. Your quilt is awesome. Love it.
