January
Goal was set to finish my mustard and eggplant lap quilt.
Final size is 55 x 68"
blocks contributed by kim, 21bakerstreet, Lynnmariewood, Alison, sunshine_sally, seahorsequilts, runswithscissors, Anne, fresh raspberry quilts, stampqnjlr, pemiddleton, and shimmyblisster. Thanks ladies!
The back is mostly a large scale print from cocoon called Metamorphosis plus some of the leftover flannel from the pink-a-lime-a-tron quilt back. The binding is Kona celery, also leftover from the same project.
Not to single anyone out, but I have to give mad props to Donna (aka. seahorsequilts) for parting with some coveted mermaids in this perfectly pieced block.

The woodgrain quilting shows up nicely on the back. I quilted this one with a neutral Aurifil thread and it only took a few hours. Much easier design than the last quilt!! And the texture is to DIE for. I am snuggled under it right now.
The quilt has found a new home on my couch. Giant laser-eyed dog for scale.
This came out fab!! Also, I saw that plus block on one of my flickr pools, I didn't realize you got it!! Those mermaids are so perfectly pieced in there, it's one of my favorites. :)
ReplyDeleteI have been watching you put this quilt together and I am so excited to see it all done! Also, that quilting makes me weak in the knees. I so love it and I can't even feel the texture.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt! Congrats on achieving your January goals.
ReplyDeleteThis color combo is very cool and kinda unexpected. I'm a fan. And I'm going to start having you quilt my quilts, yes?
ReplyDeleteGreat color combination!
ReplyDeleteLove the dog too
So gorgeous! Great backing choice. Woodgrain quilting?!? Someone brought a woodgrain quilt she had done to my quilt guild and I was all, maybe in a few years I will be good enough to do FMQ that difficult! Yours looks so awesome.
ReplyDeleteVery very cool! Well done!
ReplyDeleteLove the colors, I like the mix with grey and love how different the blocks are.
ReplyDeleteThat is gorgeous! Great color combo, and I just love the wood grain quilting. I'll have to give that a try!
ReplyDeletebeautiful! this is one of my favorite color combos!!
ReplyDeleteOooh love the laser eyed dog! Was he looking for loose threads? Great finish thanks for linking up :)
ReplyDeleteThis turned out beautifully! Love how you placed the blocks and the quilting pattern is awesome! Laser eyed dog looks so happy, too. :-)
