For some reason, I get motivated to make quilts during the summer.
A lap full of cotton and batting when temps near triple digits. Uh-huh.
It doesn't make sense to me either but it gets things done.
Last summer I did a lot of quilting and I've just finished my first quilt of this summer.
This is my salvaged project from here.
It's simple but exactly what I wanted.
I really love the back.
And I do love those little feet...
It's also the first quilt I've made for myself!

(which explains all the pink...my favorite color)
I really just started with a blank canvas of quilted white Kona muslin and batting.
Then I did a whole bunch of appliques...
I added horizontal pink lines and a little bit of free motion quilting to give it a sense of movement.
And it's mine. All mine.
Fabrics:
Joel Dewberry Mazanita
binding fabric escapes me...I'll figure it out and add it
Oh, and the dimensions are 69 1/2" x 44 1/2", what I deemed "couch-sized."

ReplyDeleteI love this quilt! Thank you so much for sharing it. I bought a few 1/2 yard pieces of Hawaiian fabric a couple of summers ago and have searched ever since for a way to show it off. I will be using your idea.
ReplyDeleteWonderful quilt!
