this little WiP of mine

Thanks for the comments & feedback, both here on the blog and over on my IG feed, about this little WiP of mine. You all gave me heaps to think about. Here's where I ended up, my 'summersweet' quilt, now a finished top. 

Jo's pattern 'wintersweet' quilt captured me and I wanted to do it justice as well as, you know, make something I was happy with too. 

I remembered {in the middle of the night!} a quilt made by Kaffe years ago, where he had lots of 9 patch squares alternating with big rosy floral squares, a border of toile squares, and then a final border of smaller squares of fabrics from the centre. 

And so I rummaged thru' my fabrics to find some toiles{fabrics with floral motifs on light white backgrounds}, and picked out the most 'modern' looking of my toile prints. I also picked a few prints that I could reverse to give that slightly softer effect. 

Loving how the 5" squares border shines out amongst all that delicious bright AMH colour! 

Here's a few progress photos . . .

Many thanks to Jo from frankieandray for the +ve  feedback & the visualisation.
