Blogger's Quilt Festival - Queen Jacob's Ladder in Moda Mimi

Hello and welcome to my blog!  Thanks for stopping by on the Blogger's Quilt Festival tour of delicious quilts!   I'm entering this sweet Jacob's Ladder queen quilt in the Large Quilt category. The Jacob's Ladder pattern is a perfect way to display Mimi's beauty!  Jacob's Ladder quilts can look completely different depending on the fabrics chosen. Oh, the pillow shams! They are simply adorable with the ties on the sides! The backing, the flap that covers the pillow inside, and the ties are all the same fabric. And for a bit of history, the Jacob's Ladder quilt pattern is sometimes thought to be from the Civil War era, used by runaway slaves on the Underground Railroad, but "there are no known quilts in this pattern dating back to the Civil War or the decades before the war when the Underground Railroad flourished."  Source The backing is also a Mimi coordinate. Quilt Stats:

• Pattern:  Jacob's Ladder 
• Size:  Queen
• Fabric:  Mimi by Chez Moi for Moda, quilt top, backing, and binding; with Moda Snow
• Batting:  100% cotton
• Quilting:  Allover meandering stitch in cream thread, done on Mrs.Singer, my antique 31-15 mounted on a long-arm quilting frame.
• Value:  Super sweet!

Pillow Sham Stats:

• Pattern:  Jacob's Ladder with half-triangle border added.
• Pillow Style:  Tied edge opening with fabric flaps to cover interior pillow, instructions in Shams With Style, although I did not bind the edges with binding as the book shows, so this changed the assembly directions somewhat.
• Size:  20 x 26, standard
• Fabric:  Mimi by Chez Moi for Moda
• Batting:  100% cotton, pillow front only
• Quilting:  Allover dense meandering stitch in cream thread, done on Mrs.Bernina, my old 830 which was my grandmother's.
• Value:  Absolutely adorable!

This quilt set was a custom order in my Etsy shop, BusyHandsQuilts.
