I made the patchwork rectangle using 2.5" squares, some are fussy cut, others are geometric prints. I limited my colors to white, yellow, orange, green, blue, and black. I'm really glad I did, I think it makes it look scrappy, while cohesive at the same time.
I decided to go with bright and happy Kona Azure for the background.
I did straight line quilting using the matching azure thread. I echo quilted all the patchwork squares and did some more geometric quilting in the "negative" space.
To finish it off, I used black and white striped fabric for the binding.
How about you, how is your 2012 sewing going?
This quilt is available for sale at my Etsy store. Have a wonderful evening, everyone!

ReplyDeleteI like this quilt a lot. It would be something for me.
ReplyDeleteMy sewing 2012 isn't as fast as I like to as my little one tends to skip day sleep and doesn't easily sleep in the evenings. I don't like to try to sew while she is awake as she wants to sit on my lap and sometimes the little fingers get too close to the needle. I don't think it's a good idea to sew then... So I have only two projects done by now and think there's so much waiting for me that it's really too much (when considering that I think about sewing / quilting most of the time...).
Oh my, I adore this! The quilting is especially wonderful, the perfect touch!
