This quilt should be called 'what I worked on when I was supposed to be doing other things', but that seemed a little long.
I has three different pastel quilts going on and I started randomly sewing the pieces together, then added some solid Kona Cotton around the edge. I had just purchased 1 yard of a pretty AH blue flower print on sale cheap and used it for the border.
The backing is a 30's style print mixed with more Kona including my all time favorite, papaya.
The binding is a pale yellow. I have no plans for this quilt, I just made it because it makes me smile.
OH! this quilt put a big smile on my face too! Love the soft pastel 30s looking front and the mod 50's back!
ReplyDeleteIt makes me smile too, Diane! Very pretty, and I'm not sure a quilt's name can ever be too long! Whoop whoop!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd it does make me smile too! What a perfect summer quilt. I like your title, or maybe you could shorten it to "Distraction." LOL
ReplyDeleteI love the soft feeling that this quilt projects. Even though it is scrappy, the fabrics play nicely together.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt and I love the back too!
ReplyDeleteThe papaya is lovely and even drool worthy!! I think all of my quilts are ones that I should have been doing something else while I decided to do them-HA! Love quilting!!
ReplyDeleteThis is SO pretty! Many of my quilts are named the same thing! what A GREAT name for a quilt! ;)
ReplyDeleteI really like the 30's style fabrics and colours! The effect is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteIts so pretty. I think the 'just because' quilts are so satisfying.
