The quilt came out of hibernation and I finished quilting yesterday and applied the binding this morning. Then the best surprise was that the weather has turned out better than forecast. On a Saturday! That meant I could take photos outside!!
This shot is in front of one of the old remaining structures from the Sand Point Naval Base in Seattle. It was turned over to the city a number of years ago. This can be found in Magnuson Park on the shores of Lake Washington.
The back of the quilt. I think it's super cute with the single row of pinwheels at the bottom. I love how bright the orange is.
The orange back is Aboriginal Dots by Kaffe Fassett. The location: the shore of Lake Washington in Magnuson Park.
I used three Moda Punctuation Charm Packs by Moda on the front. And a muslin colored fabric - whose name escapes me.
The Sweetie's arms were nearly ready to fall off at this point... I can't even tell you the number of shots I deleted.
The binding is a cute yellow fabric by Liesl Gibson of Oliver +S, and ties nicely to the center yellow diamond on the front. This was not my usual color palette - I trend toward the darker side, but this is so bright and cheery I might need to explore the bright side again.
This quilt was about trying new things: Triangles, brighter colors, and free motion quilting. Free motion quilting was fun! I am very pleased with the result.
And just because... even the weeds found in the spring grass are cute!
