I can't even believe that all nine blocks for my Single Girl quilt are pieced and trimmed ( I could only fit 6 of them on my design wall as these blocks are ginormous). I'm doing a 3 x 3 blocks layout, so my quilt will measure about 60" x 60".
I love working on this quilt so very much, I even have fabric for the backing all ready to go. I got this gorgeous and amazingly soft Tanya Whelan Sugar Hill flannel from here. Isn't it beautiful? I think it will be a perfect match for my happy, bright, and colorful single girls.
And, I'm going all out and hand quilting this puppy. I'm in no hurry to get it finished any time soon, so slow and relaxing hand quilting sounds very appealing.
Of course, I will still have to decide on the binding, but I have plenty of time for that.
What have you been up to? Do tell. Svetlana
Wow, it's looking great.
ReplyDeleteOohh its so lovely, you've inspired me to dig out my unfinished single girl quilt top and get it finished! It's so big ive put off basting it for 6 months! Its all my precious liberty scraps so i've no idea how this project ended up as a ufo! Time to do something about it, thanks for reminding me of it! Ps i wish i'd thought of scrappy backgrounds, looks amazing!
ReplyDeletelooks great! and hand quilting will just make it even more special

I love the nod to 'scrappy' in this quilt with the different backgrounds. Jxo
ReplyDeleteLooks great! The low volume background fabrics are very pretty!
ReplyDeleteLooking great, and love the backing fabric
ReplyDeleteBeautiful single girl blocks. I love the use of the different neutrals.
ReplyDeleteSo GORGEOUS !
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning!!!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt makes me smile. :0) It is so pretty and happy. It will be just lovely handquilted. :0) I too love to hand quilt. :0)
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous. Hand quilting with the flannel back is going to be a perfectly luxurious experience.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the journey of making your quilt. I also love to hand quilt. So relaxing.
ReplyDeleteIt is looking gorgeous, I almost tempted to to make one apart from the fact I hate sewing curves ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt is gorgeous! I love the flannel for the backing.
ReplyDeleteSingle Girl was one of my favorite quilts to make. Once you get past cutting out all those pieces it goes together fairly quickly! Yours is wonderful! I love the idea of mixing up the background rather than using a solid background. Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteSvetlanko, (můžeme si tykat?) jsi neskutečně rychlá!! Vypadá to nádherně. Už se těším na konečný výsledek... bude to nádherné! :)
ReplyDeleteKrásné dny, Jolana
I am reading 5 posts together, so sorry to be so behind. I love your circular quilting on your quilt. The heart pillow is wonderful, I am rather smitten by all the different valentines projects this year. And the fabric on the back of that pillow is the best. These scrappy single girl blocks are great fun, they will make a wonderful quilt. It is quite lovely to see all this inspiration all at once but keeping up with you is better and hopefully I will have more time now.
ReplyDeleteWOW! Great progress and the backing is lovely. I always agree with your taste =)
ReplyDeleteI love love LOVE the scrappy background on your Single Girl blocks!! That's going to be such a great quilt. Thanks for linking up to WIP Wednesday. : )
ReplyDeleteThis is such great quilt and I will be watching as you progress with the quilting. It is on my to-do list. Such a great pattern
ReplyDeleteI spy some embroidery scissors :) LOVe the scrappy backing you used here! I am all about that these days.
