First quilt in 2010...
I am so glad this one is finished. This was again one of those quilts that I would never do on my own. I mean the colors. I love when I am pushed to create out of my ordinary and then realize, "Hey, this works.."
I really like the end result, but I was worried while sewing the strips together. As you may remember this is the post about the inspiration for the color-way of this quilt. I think it worked out great to match the curtains. Let's hope that the recipient of this one will like it as well.
It took me forever to quilt it, just because the school started and more important (right now) work came into play. For quilting, I chose just the simple wavy lines throughout the quilt, which was super easy and fun. I can't wait to see it after the wash (in the washer as I am writing...). It might need an extra photo then. I love this pattern and will definitely use it again.
The most important? Everything I used for this quilt, I already had, which means I was able to manage my first challenge.
I am already working on the next project, but that one can't be shown for awhile since I don't want to spoil a surprise.
Next? ...challenge #2...

Super cute! The hard thing for me would be having enough white. Did you even have the batting?
Páči sa mi, ako si skombinovala farby a pritom si využila to, čo si už mala. Super!
I love the colors in your quilt. Looks like a great way to use up those scraps too.
this is a great quilt! I love all white between the colors. Great job!
What a wonderful, inspiring quilt!
it's lovely - reminds me of spring, which is a good thing at this point in winter:)

I love how this quilt turned out! I've always wanted to make the hop skip jump pattern and I love it paired with such bright and fun fabrics. Beautiful job!
