The quilt top is made from all scraps. I quilted it with bright pink Auriful thread in color 4020. I debated between this quilting design and one big spiral over the whole quilt. I enjoyed the process of quilting this design very much. Well, after the first few lines were done! It's always nerve wracking to get started.
The backing is two-toned pink.
This cotton couture fabric from Michael Miller produces a lovely quilted texture. I love how it looks embossed. It works great for backings because it's soft, smooth and just a tiny bit shiny. Did I mention the texture???
I used a citron green, almost lemon colored binding. The contrasting pop of color on the outside of the quilt is a nice foil to all of the pink.
I plan to donate it to the Mother's Hope Program. I can't think of a better destination for it!
Now it's your turn! Please link up your finishes for the week Thank you for joining me for finish it up Friday!
I love Love LOVE this quilt.
ReplyDeleteHi Amanda Jean - what is your trick to getting those first couple of lines down. Also, do you work top to bottom or start from the center out? This is such a cheerful quilt and will surely make the lucky recipient very happy. Yes, great texture!!
