Finally! After three months of focusing mostly on training for this month's MS-150, I finally had a rainy, thundery, lightning-spiked evening to finish up this quilt top! One of my favorites of all time!
Thanks to the inspirations for this quilt top...
I designed some coordinating Spoonflower fabrics!
I worked up my fanciest border yet for a mini quilt top from one of my fat quarter panels!!! I rarely piece with white because the seams show through, but I think the white really makes the color pop in this gem.
Another of my most favorite projects of all time!
Awesome when you complete a project and it's one of the best and favorite you have. Great feeling indeed.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pat! I like these two so much, I actually can't wait to begin quilting them! But I think the little one is going to get one or two more borders so it will be big enough for a little niece or nephew this Christmas...
DeleteSo cute! I also like that little mini. Mostly the show-through will disappear if you use white batting. That border is worth it!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mari! I was hoping the white batting might help hide the seams. I was even considering sticking white fleece in the center to see if that would cure the visual distraction...
Deletewhat a beautiful quilt and such great inspirations !!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Melody! The big one is one of my favorites because it chased away painful memories back in June just when I needed it most. This one will always have a special place in my heart, even if I end up giving it away.
DeleteThis is so darn cool!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sue! I might have to send you one of the panels to see what you can come up with; I never did do that with the Quilted Skies panel, did I???
DeleteIt's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Marie!
