Off Road



 A couple of months ago I purchased a quilt pattern called Off-Road by Seriously I think it needs stitches - Kelli Fannin Quilt Designs.  I bought it with the idea of making the quilt for my youngest son who owns a red jeep.  I finished the quilt tonight.


The quilt pattern had very clear instructions.  I did add one more 5" border to make the quilt a bit larger than the original pattern which would finish at 60" x 60".  This one finished at 70" x 70".  I backed the quilt with a cuddle soft grey mottled flannel.  I think I will make another one of these quilts.  It was kind of fun to do something different.  We do have the pattern available at The Stitching Room in Richfield

This would be a great pattern to make a quilt for someone you know who owns a jeep!


I machine quilted this one with an edge to edge pantograph design called "Curls".  I really like the way it turned out.


The only change I made to the pattern was to add
an additional 5" border to make the quilt 70" x 70"


The pattern gave very clear instructions to piece this quilt.


I named the quilt after the pattern - Off Road.
