Two other larger quilts were put on hold to make a quick mini. First I saw
this one, then
that one, and then I dove headfirst into my scrap pile (don't worry, it's a pretty big pile, so I didn't hurt myself), and a marathon of cutting, basting, stitching and binding ensued.
I tried really hard not to use my ruler, so there would be some wonkiness. The quilting lines were not marked either, I just kind of eyeballed it.
This is going into my "gift" basket. A lot of the things I make are gifted throughout the year. When a birthday or Christmas comes up, I search the basket for a present before I run out to buy something.
So very satisfying.
Dark gray fabric: Kona (don't know the color, charcoal?)
Backing: Alexander Henry "Market Stalls", bought at Joann's
Finished size: 25x25 inches
I'd sure love to dive head first into your gift basket!!!
ReplyDeleteI love this one!

I'm having a little giggle at the vision of you diving into your scrap pile and popping back up triumphantly with just the perfect fabrics! Love your quilt - and particularly the wonkiness, that's what makes it unique and fun.

This is lovely and fun. I have a gift drawer too where I put things throughout the year ready for birthdays and Christmas.
ReplyDeleteAhhh, this one is so lovely. The bright florals against the charcoal gray look just wonderful. Beautiful job, as always! :)
