This quilt is made mostly with fabric from the Flutterby line from Tula Pink. I started with a jelly roll and a few charm packs. I whipped up all of the braid pieces and then decided that using all of the colorways was too busy for me. That's the tough place, when you know it could be better if you get out the seam ripper! It was worth it though, I do like the finished look. The pieces I took out are mostly red, brown and yellow. They will make another great project. I found the polka-dot fabric for the back in the clearance section at one of my local quilt shops. I have been enjoying all of the pieced backs from crazymomquilts and was inspired. I wanted to do a bit more piecing but this was all of the fabric I had left.
This was my second attempt at machine quilting, I liked the pink thread but it sure doesn't hide mistakes like brown would have! Oh, well. This one is staying at my house.
Anyone else ready for some green grass? Come on spring!
