Between starting another small scrappy quilt and working on another ufo,
I finished another quilt this weekend.
- a party in the quilt back!
I loved making this 2nd version of the 'checkered garden' quilt. I used the free pattern from Ashley @filminthefridge, such a fun block to assemble. There's something so joyful about turning small pieces into a cohesive delightful quilt.
I used a colourful whimsical mix of fabrics, loosely channeling my inner vintage granny chic with a touch of modern. All from scraps & stash, add a little contrast from the darker teals & bright pink, et voilà!
Backing: I pulled out a small log cabin quilt top (see back here) in pink, brown & green leftovers, and then just started building around the log cabin center with my chunky strips to bring it up to size. Hm-m-m - this quilt has a real two-sided appeal thingy happening!
Quilting: Leeanne @quiltmekiwi added some quilting goodness, using an e2e cone flower panto.
I finally added the binding this weekend. I settled on a moody teal/green with a small floral print on it for my binding, 'Handkerchief Helga' by Nathalie Lete for AMH's Conservatory.
Happy weekending,
Linda
So pretty, your quilts are always so colorful!
ReplyDeleteYou are a super star . . . When the back is as pretty and as interesting as the front, that's super star amazing.
ReplyDeleteBravo!!!
Your quilter does a great job lining up the back nice and square with the front. This one is definitely pretty on both sides.
ReplyDeletepretty neat and colorful as always!
ReplyDeleteThat's a beauty, Linda! I love the color in the blocks - and the quilt back - and the binding, too. Such a fun quilt!
ReplyDeleteHow great is that - reversible! It's beautiful, and I love that coneflower panto.
ReplyDeleteAnother of your very happy quilts, 'Checkered Garden #2, finished! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteA very summery quilt that reads as joyful 🥰
ReplyDeleteAs always, I love both the front and the back. So much fun with all the colours and fabrics. That is a great selection for the binding.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous quilt, great colours and the quilting really finishes it beautifully
ReplyDeleteThanks Lynn.
DeleteSuper happy to have used up a lot of small scrappy bits, and it’s got a wonderful flow both back & front.
Yes I agree, the coneflower quilting panto is my favourite just now!
Linda
The front of the quilt is an other stunner and the back is just as beautiful, in fact would I be hung, drawn and quartered if I say that if it were my quilt I would probably that back displayed more than the front.
ReplyDeleteWhat a super happy quilt!!! and two sided - love that!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on another beautiful finish! I especially love that floral binding fabric; such a delightful detail.
