Orange Peel Quilt

This quilt was made for my youngest son and his wife for Christmas. It seems to be a tradition for me now to complete a project on Christmas eve (10:30 p.m. this time!). I thought I was going to pull my hair out on this one! It really appears to be such a simple pattern. It took f.o.r.e.v.e.r. I kept running out of supplies and had to order more to match. I couldn't get most of my points to match (no surpise there!), you name it. But, now it's finished and the recipients seem quite pleased with it. It's about 100x 110. I actually meant for it to be 110x110, but that didn't happenIt's machine quilted using my walking foot and a curvy-lined stitch.
I have to admit that the back is my favorite part of this quilt. It's the Good Neighbors quilt backing fabric by Amanda Jean Nyberg. LOVE it!! The colors were perfect for this quilt.
