"OZ" Did It!!

After years and years of collecting and saving and finding the fabric...

"Oz" did it!

The Wizard of Oz Quilt that I made for my sister has been gifted!
Yes, she did love it, which makes me very happy.

I should explain, I tried to follow the sequence of the movie by starting with sepia, the I made a rainbow to signify arriving in Oz, then back to sepia when she arrived home.
On with the show!

Finale lay out. ready to sandwich and quilt.


DONE!!!!


Now for a hundred pictures!!

I DO need to mention, boy was I in a hurry to get the photographed and wrapped. 
These pictures are just plain bad!!
So sorry....

First time putting a block on the back but I just did not want to leave this picture off the quilt.















WHEW!!!

Do you feel like watching the movie now, LOL! 

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend.

I've been waiting to see the finished product! Love the blue you added for the background. Now I'll have to drag out my yardage and do something with it. My son has been the tin man twice and the lion once in a local annual production. Love it!

Yeah!! You know, I never cared for OZ, I am not the norm I guess.

Brilliant, Jane. What a wonderful way to showcase Oz. I'm betting your sis was "over the rainbow" with happiness to receive it.

Happy New Year!

Lesley said...

What a job to organize the scenes and lay it all out in sequence and to turn it all into a quilt. Well done Jane.

One of the best movies of all time and did it justice with this quilt! I particularly LOVE that rainbow you put it (in a very appropriate crossover moment)!
What a thoughtful gift!

I love how you followed the color tones of the movie and brought out the rainbows!! The creative details really makes your piece a 'Heel clicker"! Beautiful and fun!!

Junie said...

Beautiful, love it. My 40+ daughter would love this. She collects Oz. This would be great! You are supper to make your sister such a gift. Would like to find out how to transfer pictures to cloth. Do I need a special ink for my printer? Thanks for the help.

The color changes just like in the movie is a wonderful idea, Jane! It is a very special quilt and will definitely hold a special place in its new home.

Shari said...

I just love this quilt! Clever girl. I'm sure your sister adores it.

LJ said...

Wonderful, Jane. I can see gobs of thought being put into this quilt. What did you use for printing off the pictures OR are they all a fabric line? What a lucky sister!
