Outside pictures taken earlier this week of my finished quilt sunny, measuring 60" by 75".
It's machine quilted in the ditch and hand quilted with perle cotton 16. Light and summery with the thin Hobbs Thermore polyester batting. I put the batting in the dryer for 20 minutes before basting the quilt. This made the batting soft and puffy, removing the wrinkles from being folded up and stored in the bag. Happy with the effect, I will do that again...
The quilt is made from 2.5" strips, playfully arranged on my design wall. I blogged about making the top earlier. Mostly yellow fabric with splashes of contrasting purple makes for an easy recipe! What color is next?
; )
I am working my way through the stack of tops waiting to become quilts. The plan is to keep quilting until I get too distracted and need to start another top. So, I'm trying to stay in quilting modus...
Happy friday and happy stitching!

What a fun quilt--love what the stripes do for it!
This is, by far, the most effective use I've seen for that striped fabric - WONDERFL!!

I love the fourth photo with the slats of the fence - very complimentary to your beautiful work. Love that thread! Take care, Byrd
I love the quilt and the binding in dark sets it off. I have been using bamboo lately and do love it, but I have a poly quilt which is light, and warm too. Thanks for the hint about the dryer on the poly too.
What a pretty quilt! I really love it!
I'm generally not a fan of yellow but that is lovely -- so bright and happy!
This quilt is ABSOLUTELY gorgeous! I LOVE it!
