I was poking around online today and ran across the Blogger's Quilt Festival over at Amy's Creative side. I went to the ROYGBIV category expecting to see at least one Gravity quilt there, but there were none! So with apologies to my regular blog readers who have seen far too much of this quilt, here is my entry to the ROYGBIV category, Gravity by Jaybird Quilts.
I made this quilt for my son for his birthday last year. Gravity was a dream to piece. Jaybird Quilts' directions were clear, and the pieces were large, making it go together surprisingly fast. I was making this quilt as a Quilt-A-Long, but I cheated and did all the blocks as quickly as I could because they were so fun to make.
It was professionally quilted by Virginia Longarm. I am thrilled with the pantograph they suggested. I think I like it even better than the custom quilted Gravities I've seen. The quilting hides a few of my piecing imperfections.
The back is a wide back black and white print, so I didn't have to piece it. I think it is perfect for this quilt.
I took the time to cross stitch a special label for Gravity.

I have this kit complete with rulers, and I am DYING to make it. Hearing that it is a dream to piece makes me happy. Yours is gorgeous.

Gravity design is amazing and hopefully one day I will be able to sew and quilt work at similar master level. Thank you for sharing.
BTW: two Gravity quilts enetered "Large quilt category" - what a battle!
