This quilt ended up with Three names!
Mr. Riley dubbed it The Mario Kart Quilt - because in the game you drive over arrows to speed you up.
I dubbed it the Bubble Wrap quilt after all the circles were quilted in.
Officially I think I would call it Gingham Geese.
It went to my sister, who just turned Thirty! I figured there was no way a mostly white quilt would survive long in this house.
It is backed with a woven turquoise gingham. Nice and soft! Bound in a solid magenta. Final measurements: 49" x 69" (I think. I wrote it down, but of course now I can't find it! Grr!) Anyway, its a good couch snuggling size. Not quite twin.
A huge Thank You to Elizabeth at

Your quilt is wonderful! I'm sure your sister loves it, whatever it's name!!
Very cool quilt, Rachel. I think the ginghams just call out for white, and I love the way you put it all together. A WHOLE quilt! I'm very impressed. I can see from reading your blog this morning, that whenI get off of vacation, I've got some serious blog reading to get to--you've been busy!
Thanks for playing along on Project Gingham!
