My linen quilt is finished!! This was made from all leftover linen from garments i've made- i always get way too much yardage, whoops- except the black. I was planning on using the black for garment things but then i had this quilt idea, so, pivoted.

This was a beast but im so so happy with how it turned out. Shes very moody.

It was machine pieced but hand quilted. I really fell in love with hand quilting while making this! Throwing on an audio book and just sewing for 3ish hours in the evenings was lovely and calming.

And if you ever want to quilt with linen, spray starch is your best friend. Lots of spray starch.

Also a lil banner i whipped up after from an extra repeat block i had!
