The quilt I am showing today is my Grinch Christmas Quilt. I loved putting this together and creating my first wonky blocks. I loved the improv part of this quilt, even though I did have a system set up at the outset with the checkerboard layout.
I have three boys, who have always loved the Grinch Christmas special as much as I did as a kid. OK, let's face it - I still love the Grinch!
My favorite characters are of course Max and Cindy Lou Who.
I had this quilted by Kathy of Stitch by Stitch. She did an awesome job, and I love the curvy pattern which reminds me of the Grinch's eyes.
Finished quilt measures : 60″x 60″
Special techniques used : improv
Quilted by : Kathy Olkowski of Stitch by Stitch
Best Category : Throw Quilt, Professionally Quilted
