Land & Sea Quilt, all finished!
I’ve decided to call it the Land & Sea Quilt because it’s got lots of things from land (flowers, birdies) and sea (mermaids and erm…giant squid!) in it. Couldn’t think of a better name, so I settled on that.
It is BIG. 88″ x 100″. Queen sized for sure and the biggest quilt I’ve made.
I think that the Alexander Henry birds pop oddly in this next photo of the back, but in person, I really like the choice. Plus I was out of white fabric and determined not to go buy any!
And just a couple more photos because my sister Cate (who the quilt is for! Happy housewarming!) loaned me her killer fancy camera and now I want it. It takes photos that are so much better than the ones my camera takes.

Gorgeous. It’s a similar design to one I want to make for my bed. trouble is, I keep starting quilts for everyone else!
Oh my goodness – you are just busting out quilt after quilt! And they are all so wonderful – this one is just gorgeous! I love it! I think I may have to try one like this for a baby gift.
I LOVE IT! Thank you so much Alissa – you win the award for best housewarming gift ever.
Wonderful job! I’m in awe that you’re able to quilt a quilt of that size (I’m too intimidated to even try!)!! I love all your colors and fabrics of course, and I love the patterned binding you chose… just beautiful! Cate’s a lucky girl!
I can’t believe you finished this big one so quickly. I like scrappy look to it and it’s so, so colorful.
This is a really cool quilt. I love the name, and the fabrics you used. The back looks awesome too. Great job!
Wow, it really is so beautiful. I love the color combination and the pieced back. you really are such an inspiration.
your sister is so lucky! i love this quilt.
I LOVE it! It’s spectacular.
Looks great… I can’t wait to start something with white!
perfect in every way! (just like mary poppins!)
wow, you sure are good to your sister! what a beautiful housewarming gift!

Love it!
Just fantastic. I love it.
Beautiful and I love the back. What a wonderful housewarming gift!
oh Alissa, this quilt is like eighty times gorgeous! anyone would be proud to have this on her bed. i can’t wait to see what you’ll work on next.
I love your quilts! And I love the birds on the back of this one, quilts should have something unexpected and this is super fun! I’m the same as you, I start a quilt and its all I think about until its done, I never have two quilts going at the same time because I go go go until the first one is complete! Its a little crazy, but I’m not one to have unfinished projects because I’m way too impatient to see how they’ll turn out. I love your stuff and your blog, Allison
You are AMAZING! So fast and such beautiful work! I love it.
Beautiful! And I LOVE the back.

This is such a lovely quilt. Would you be willing to share the dimensions? At this moment I’m staring at a stack of scrap fabric that was meant for a medalion quilt I’ve been working on but would much rather see it in this quilt.
Your quilt is beautiful. Lucky Cate! Please share the pattern. You have a follower in me…
So, so beautiful. I love the colors, it really is a great combination of land and sea. Your sister is one lucky gal.

although it isn’t the best picture.
Thanks again for sharing the measurements.
this inspires me to finish my own squares in squares quilt i started. i have 10 of the 25 blocks done so far. thanks for the kick in the pants!!
I am absolutely IN LOVE with this quilt. I am new to quilting, and sewing for that matter. I was wondering if you could share with me that final measurements of those quilt blocks so I could get started with something scrappy too!
Your quilts are so beautiful – you’ve inspired me to make one. Thank you for sharing them!
This quilt is so pretty! Just found it from Crazy Mom Quilts blog, of course I already subscribe to your blog.
What great inspiration! Love the birds!
I saw your Land & Sea in the Quilter’s Home Magazine – I’ve got a stash that is just calling this pattern’s name – where can I find the pattern?
