Moroccan Tiles Quilt

Another bonus of having our daughter visit over Thanksgiving is that she could get her Moroccan Tiles quilt, that I rushed to finish and gift-wrap for her.

Moroccan Tiles finished at 65" X 72".

I walking-foot quilted a diagonal grid "behind" the tile designs, and free motion quilted each tile.

For the first time, I made two sided binding, also called double sided binding. I used vanilla Grunge for the front side, and that teal floral print for the back side. That meant I cut a 1"-wide strip of front binding and 2"-wide strip of back binding, and joined them to make 2-1/2"-wide binding. This is the tutorial I followed.

In an attempt to use up all the fabric we'd bought for this quilt, I designed the backing to sort of compliment the tiles on the front. The side arcs aren't as round as those on the front because the quilt width didn't allow for it. The idea still comes across though, I think. 

While I was in a label-making mode, creating labels for six QuiltCon entries, I made this label for Jill's quilt. I've begun adding quilt dimensions to all labels. That information often comes in handy. 

Jill seemed very pleased with the quilt and was excited to take it home. Her house is undergoing some updating - new kitchen cabinet doors, paint, and new carpeting - so Moroccan Tiles will suit the colors and style well.
