I got this quilt back from a shop last week and fell in love with it all over. The quilting is a-maz-ing. I made this out of 2 (ish) layer cakes of Summer House by Moda with the Kaleidoscope pattern. I made the quilt top last spring…then told my local quilter she could do whatever she wanted on it…which I always do…because she’s amazing and I can’t ever decide.
The back is a pop of color. I really love it…just what I need when its brown and pretty darn ugly outside.

Just for fun if I showed you the un-edited version of that picture you’d see:
the roller coaster set up in my living room. The best $94 Santa ever spent…even if it is loud and I have to step over it everyday…best...toy…ever.

OMG... the roller coaster is hilarious! Now I want one... but there is no room except maybe in the hallway... Oh, yeah, and the quilt is gorgeous. ;)

Your quilt is bee-you-tee-ful! And, had I known about the roller coaster, it would have definitely been under our tree this year!

Beautiful! And what a lucky young person to have their own roller coaster!!!

I totally agree with you on the roller coaster toy. My kids are 22, 19, 18 and 15. We got it when the 19 and 18 year old were 1 and 2. It was in my kitchen. We moved to another state and it went out in the yard. As they got older, it was used for all sorts of stuff including a skateboard launcher for teens. It's now handed down to my 2 and 5 yr old niece and nephew and it looks and works as well as it did 18 yrs ago! I'd highly recommend it!

I love the quilt!! I have some Summer House for a Basket Case quilt as soon as I work up the nerve to cut it! We also have a roller coaster and it is truly wonderful; best toy until.....Santa brought a plasma car!!
My children rode them Every Single Day for over two years and still ride them often. Santa was brilliant that year!

We had that roller coaster living in our house for a loooooong time too. Lots of fun on that one :D
Love the quilt! The bright colors are fantastic.

Roller coaster! I wonder if it would keep the cats entertained?
The quilt is beautiful. Oh. My. Word. So colorful and amazing and sigh inducing awesomeness.

Hmmm...rollercoaster. May need one!
Love the quilt and the quilting is gorgeous. How much extra on the sides (batting and backing) does your quilter like to have? I'm thinking of getting a couple done myself. I know every quilter is different but I"m just curious. Thanks, Allison!

Love the quilt, but I have to tell you that I got that roller coaster at a garage sale about 11 years ago for $5 and my grandkids have all had a great time with it. They keep passing it down to the younger ones.

Lovely quilt. Love the bright colors. I feel the same way about the roller coaster as with Legos at my house.
Pam
So very pretty!! I've wondered what does someone charge for quilting? I've just started piecing some tops together for lap quilts that I will attempt to quilt myself but I would love to make and extra large quilt top for our king size bed and know that quilting it is not for me. Can you share with me what I might expect to pay for a quilting service? thanks, Pam
jillredding
The roller coaster was our favorite toy too. My kids are 24, 20 and 15 so the toys are soo much more expensive! I am glad to hear that they are still making the roller coaster I don't know what happened to ours but we will be buying another one if we ever have grandchildren. I love the quilt have been wanting to buy that pattern and this has pushed me over the edge.
Becky
The quilt turned out beautiful! And I'm loving the roller-coaster too :)
