Derby Quilt

I finished my Derby Quilt tonight. I will press it tomorrow and find something to put on the back. I will also call someone to see about quilting it. I used the BQ pattern by Maple Island Quilts. It has fabrics depicting several of the KY Derby festivities like hot air balloons, marching band, fireworks, horses, red roses, airplanes and marathon runners.

I have been planning this quilt for a couple years and collecting the fabric for as long. I got a nudge a while ago when I entered a local contest. The rules require at least one fleur de lis on the quilt. After more thought I decided on using this pattern instead of creating one. I think someone will be very happy with this quilt.
