Completed Anthropologie-Inspired Quilts

I've been showing photos as they've been coming along, but here are the 2 quilts I finished & shipped off to my wonderful Etsy customer last Thursday. She wanted 2 full-size quilts, both of my original Whimsical Rhapsody design, but a little different. Again, here are the Anthropology curtains she is designing her kids' room around, with accents of turquoise, avocado green, and mustard yellow:

Full view of the one the I machine quilted:

And the back of it, showing how I did it in sections & then hand-covered the seams (never doing that again- WAY too time-consuming, lol!):

And the front of the one I had machine quilted by my really, incredibly awesome longarm quilter:

Another view of that one:

Border fabric is by Tina Givens for Freespirit Fabrics, "Treetop Fancy". I always make my own binding, but in the time crunch to get these finished, and the dreaded thought of making binding for 2 full-size quilts (about 20 yards!!), I went with Wright's premade Extra Wide Bias Binding.

I love how they turned out, they were certainly a labor of love... and I decided that I hadn't been charging enough, lol!

The wonders of longarm quilting, and more Anthropologie quilt

I picked up a customer's quilt from my awesome longarm quilter last night on the way home from work, I hadn't even attached the binding yet but I had to take some pictures to show off, I LOVE how it turned out and our choice of quilting design is absolutely a perfect reflection of the border fabric design!! I'm so excited, she will definitely be quilting all my quilts except baby quilts from now on, lol!!!

Anthropologie-Inspired "Whimsical Rhapsody" quilt

These are the Anthropologie curtains that are going in the room where my customer will use the quilts; it may be hard to see, but there is mustard yellow, turquoise, and avocado green in here:

 This was the first block I machine quilted; I'm trying a new way to machine quilt, 1 section at a time. I hate trying to lug around a full-size quilt through my little sewing machine. If this doesn't work the way I want it to, from now on, I may have to start hiring my quilting out for anything bigger than a baby quilt.

 And this photo show the original Whimsical Rhapsody quilt I made for my sister, so you can see the overall layout:
