Oriana is Finished

 Back in April I took a class at one of my

local quilt shops to learn to make
Oriana.

I had wanted to make this quilt for some time

and could not figure out the pattern, for some reason.

I signed up for the class and then began

looking for fabric.

This part was challenging!

I finally decided on a rainbow color scheme

and began cutting strips.

During the first class I was able to figure out the pattern

and went to town after that.

My quilt top was finished before the second class.

After I finished it, I sent to to

Rebecca Grace Quilting

and asked her to work her magic on the quilting.

She returned it to me a couple of weeks ago

and it is finished!!

 

 

 

 

 

The biggest challenge for me in making this quilt

was deciding where the different colors would go. 

 

 

 

It lived on my design wall for a couple of days

and I kept going in and moving strips

until it was pleasing to my eye. 

 

 

 

The next biggest challenge was getting the seams to match to make

the circle.

My seam ripper was called into action several times.

 

 

 

 

I could not be happier with Rebecca Grace's quilting!

She does such a phenomenal job in every aspect of her quilting.

With all of the different colors in this quilt, 

I decided to bind it in black.

 

I'm excited to finally have made Oriana!

 

 

Happy Quilting!
