I found this little package of 1/2 squares - I think They called it a Turnover.... but truly - I can't remember. It just looked cute and I am a sucker for pre-cuts.....
I also told myself I had better get busy - this had to be made into something before 2015..... and
Surprise!!! Not only did I make the top - I quilted it. Yep.... just the binding awaits.... ( after I figure out how I want to bind it)
I had such a fun time quilting it... I had no plans so I combined a pantograph and bubbles and lines and just had a good time.
I used Quilters Dream - Dream Puff batting - I LOVE that batting. It is puffy ( duh) and light weight - but so warm..... and if you live in my house in the winter - you want warm . Someone might not like to turn the heater up.....
I am thinking that I will bind it in Dark Blue
Or maybe Lime Green..... Ideas?
This is the back - I zig zag print. There is a quilt shop in Fort Morgan - Inspirations- the boys had a Cross Country meet there - so I went a tad early and checked out the shop - and found this zig zag -
And now I have a puffy perfect yummy warm quilt... that needs binding.... But I am happy!
Really nice and I like the idea of the dark blue binding too.
ReplyDeleteLove what you did with the squares and the quilting is so unique! I would call it "Just Because." When one makes a quilt just because she feels like it (even if there is a deadline, ha), it turns out great! You did good!
ReplyDeleteHow about a striped binding? Maybe find a print with these colors in it, or black & white would work too.
ReplyDeleteLove the zig zag quilt--such cool colors! How big is it and the 1/2 square triangles? I might hafta do one of those. The quilting is beautiful also. GOOD JOB!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilting and design Alycia! I am sure you were screaming........screaming for joy!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute and I love your quilting!
ReplyDeleteI'd go with lime green for the binding. Really cool little quilt and I love how you quilted it.
ReplyDeleteLOVE this!! What about lime and blue for the binding? The quilting is fabulous. . . as usual ;)
ReplyDeleteWOW, the quilting on that is phenominal! Great job!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful quilting! I am loving all the circle designs you have been using lately. I think framing it with a lime binding would be fun!
ReplyDeleteAs soon as you said binding I guessed lime green!
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt.
Lovely quilt. If it were mine, I'd bind in white except match the edges of the zig zag.
ReplyDeleteWow! are your bubbles freehand or template?
ReplyDeleteI love the quilt! Your quilting is exquisite too.
ReplyDeleteAnd of course we NEVER want to go to the quilt shop.............
I would say a dark blue or the dark grey for binding. It sure is lovely and it shows you had a good time quilting it.
ReplyDeleteAdorable! Your quilting is amazing.
ReplyDeleteThe top and the quilting are stunning!!! All the good suggestions for the binding, makes your job not easier!! I will come back to see it with your binding.
ReplyDeleteLove from Amsterdam
Wow, I love the quilting - super fun! Tough call on the binding
ReplyDeleteThe quilt looks fabulous! The quilting adds such wonderful texture. I vote for the blue binding, but then blue is my favorite color. :) Visiting from Let's Bee Social.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty quilt. I like the giant bubbles.
ReplyDeletePretty quilt and fun quilting! I initially wondered about white binding, but that might be weird. I think I'd do a lighter blue, but you can't really go wrong.
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous! I adore the quilting. Especially those bubbles! How fun! Binding? You can do it!
ReplyDeleteSpectacular! I love it!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done. Love the quilt and the quilting!
ReplyDeleteVery creative and inspiring quilting!!
