I sewed on the binding and finished it by machine last night. It ended up 47" x 59". The source of the pattern is here.
I have a box full of 2.5" strips so I just pulled out nice intense contrasts to the yellows that would be the background.
I think the backing fabrics look good with the front. The binding is the same gold fabric that is on the back.
My granddaughter and two great-grandsons came over yesterday morning to bring me some Smores cake. It is yummy! She made it in the Rockcrock (by Pampered Chef) in the microwave.
Yesterday afternoon I pulled out large pieces of batik to find one to back the quilt on the left. I decided on the beige one with the circles. I got the seam sewn but haven't pressed it yet.
I like this pattern and I do use precuts quite a bit as they are easy when traveling. I never use them in backgrounds though. I love your choice of fabrics and will take a look through this book.
Sunshine yellows and golds are glorious with your dark jewel toned hues on this quilt Wanda. It just dances off the screen. And a great backing with ferns and butterflies... Another wonderful finish Wanda.
OMG... S'Mores cake... looks delicious, what a treat from your grand daughter.
I really like the yellow background quilt. Isn't it funny how some quilts look so much better finished. You have to have the vision (and you do!) to picture it beforehand.
I like this yellow quilt! Nice one!

I took a quilt off the long arm last night, but I don't think it will get bound to make an end of month finish. Time to load another on.

ReplyDeleteThose yellows really make that quilt! So pretty.
ReplyDeleteEating smores like that looks a lot less messy than eating smores the regular way. It does look yummy.
