- love how that blue solid strip on the backing really shows up the quilting pattern.

These days I try to make my quilts largely from my stash and supplement with a few new fabrics here and there. This pattern from @liftinglimitsquilting was a really fun one to play with, and perfect for using up some of my fat quarters that had been sitting on the shelf for a while.
Going rogue (again) with mixing colour & pattern and thinking of a summertime vibe! Lots of pastels in purple, some paler neutrals tossed in with the brighter pinks & green, and a little punch of dark blue. The fabrics are a mix of designers I had in my stash, a little AMH, some Kaffes, along few Jennifer Paganelli fabrics.
I matched up a large bit of leftover wide AMH backing with a blending blue solid for my backing. I sent my quilt off for a spot of longarm quilting by Leeanne from quiltmekiwi, an E2E pattern called 'totally mod circles'. And after a bit of rummaging around, I found a multi-coloured Kaffe stripe that worked well with both back & front for the binding. Finished quilt measures 60" x 60".
Donated to Hospice.

I too try to make from what I have but I always seem to buy more than I intend to - Scrappy is great!
Your quilt is so vibrant! It will be well loved by the recipient. I often put more of a plain fabric on the back of my quilts so the quilting can show itself. Happy stitching!

This is such a pretty quilt, and seems like a quick made, though I'd say 60" X 60" is big! What a lovely, generous gift! Thinking of the cost of fabric, and what you paid a longarm quilter, that's a big donation to Hospice. It will physically and emotionally warm someone. Bless you.
Hi Linda, what a pretty finish! The fabrics are luscious and flowery and so summery.
It is gorgeous, looks absolutely perfectly executed, and quilted beautifully. I love the circles.
Beautiful quilt. So pretty and cheerful and I’m sure the hospice patient will be delighted. Rather like an I Spy quilt - lots of little snippets of fabrics for patient and visitors to find.
Love this, simple and elegant!
Love this Linda - I had Leeanne use this quilting design last year on the quilt for eldest son, it was nice and loose, which I prefer.
Another lovely finish.
You always have wonderful combinations of fabrics and colours in your quilts.
What a gorgeous donation.
