href="http://www.jackiereeve.com/2014/11/16/victory-gardens-quilt-pt-1/">Victory Gardens Quilt Pt. 1</a>.</em></p> <p>I finished this little quilt for H Thanksgiving week, but for some reason I just never got around to posting photos. I don’t think it was any real reason other than the holidays kept me busy and then there was too much snow to take it outside for photos.</p> <p>But here it is, H’s favorite drag-around quilt. This was a mini-me idea so she would stop stealing her dad’s <a href="http://www.jackiereeve.com/2011/12/29/the-british-quilt/">Union Jack quilt</a> right off of his body. I love the pattern from <a href="http://www.mkquiltdesigns.com/pattern%20pages/p-victorygarden.html">Busy Bee Quilt Designs</a>. It came together quickly and just worked the way it’s supposed to. This is always appreciated.</p> <p><a href="http://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_6448.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-13958" src="http://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_6448-590x394.jpg" alt="victory gardens quilt 2" width="590" height="394" srcset="https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_6448-590x394.jpg 590w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_6448-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_6448-565x377.jpg 565w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_6448.jpg 800w" sizes="(max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px" /></a></p> <p>The pattern offers two sizes, a 73″ x 91″ version and a baby version. I made the baby version for H, and it’s a perfect size for her.</p> <p><a href="http://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_6460.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-13957" src="http://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_6460-590x394.jpg" alt="victory gardens quilt 3" width="590" height="394" srcset="https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_6460-590x394.jpg 590w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_6460-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_6460-565x377.jpg 565w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_6460.jpg 800w" sizes="(max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px" /></a></p> <p>And the plan worked. This is H’s “downstairs quilt,” the one she drags into her tent to play or asks for when she’s snuggled on the couch.</p> <p>I quilted this one myself, it’s just free motion quilted (meandering all over).</p> <p><a href="http://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_3095.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-13960" src="http://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_3095-590x590.jpg" alt="IMG_3095" width="590" height="590" srcset="https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_3095-590x590.jpg 590w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_3095-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_3095-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_3095-565x565.jpg 565w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_3095.jpg 800w" sizes="(max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px" /></a></p> <p>I just…LOVE this quilt. Love the prints (listed in my first post on this project). I love the colors, the size, the quilting. I love the binding. I kind of want to make a full size one for myself.</p> <p><a href="http://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_3241.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-13961" src="http://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_3241-590x590.jpg" alt="IMG_3241" width="590" height="590" srcset="https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_3241-590x590.jpg 590w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_3241-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_3241-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_3241-565x565.jpg 565w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_3241.jpg 800w" sizes="(max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px" /></a></p> <p>The back is a London Underground print I bought yards and yards of as a backup plan in case the backing for Adam’s quilt didn’t work out. I’ve had it for years and never done anything with it. It is crooked, but that is how you know it was made with love. Or, that I was watching something good on Netflix rather than pay attention when pinning and quilting.</p> <p><a href="http://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_6463.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-13956" src="http://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_6463-516x590.jpg" alt="victory back" width="516" height="590" srcset="https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_6463-516x590.jpg 516w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_6463-263x300.jpg 263w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_6463-565x646.jpg 565w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_6463.jpg 700w" sizes="(max-width: 516px) 100vw, 516px" /></a></p> <p><a href="http://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_6466.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-13955" src="http://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_6466-590x394.jpg" alt="victory back 2" width="590" height="394" srcset="https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_6466-590x394.jpg 590w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_6466-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_6466-565x377.jpg 565w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_6466.jpg 800w" sizes="(max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px" /></a></p> <p> </p> <div class='yarpp-related'> <p>Related posts:</p><ol> <li><a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/2011/04/07/sandras-baby-quilt-pt-2/" rel="bookmark" title="Sandra’s Baby Quilt, Pt. 2">Sandra’s Baby Quilt, Pt. 2 </a></li> <li><a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/2014/11/16/victory-gardens-quilt-pt-1/" rel="bookmark" title="Victory Gardens Quilt Pt. 1">Victory Gardens Quilt Pt. 1 </a></li> <li><a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/2010/07/22/purple-quilt-pt-3/" rel="bookmark" title="Purple Quilt Pt. 3">Purple Quilt Pt. 3 </a></li> <li><a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/2012/08/30/little-apples-quilt-pt-3/" rel="bookmark" title="Little Apples Quilt Pt. 3">Little Apples Quilt Pt. 3 </a></li> <li><a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/2012/09/17/little-apples-quilt-is-finished/" rel="bookmark" title="Little Apples Quilt Is Finished!">Little Apples Quilt Is Finished!
