I used the Moda Lawn Chair Quilt pattern (but modified the instructions since I obviously didn't use precut fabrics). It was actually a super easy pattern and it turned out the best of any quilt I have made.
Before washing.
After much, much, much debate I ended up with a green binding. I was going to use a vintage purple binding I have and had collected for this quilt but in the end I didn't have enough of it. So I just went with green.
(Sun behind makes it look pink from the backing.)
I even had vintage purple for the back. In the pantone color of the year even - a bright orchid.
After washing (and a little wrinkly from waiting to have it's picture taken.)
I have a TON of purple left over so I think another purple quilt is in my future.
But I seemed to have developed this teensy little problem...
All I ever think about making right now are quilts! No other sewing ever even crosses my mind. What the what?
Case in point - I am plotting turning this stack of feedsack squares I bought this summer into a whopping 521 (!!!) flying geese blocks.I know, right?
LOL
P.S. That background on Sam's photos is one they have at JCP right now. I am totally old school with the milestone portraits and take the kids to the mall photo studio. They have some "hip" (LOL) stuff for backgrounds right now. Usually I prefer white, but whatever, I just let the lady choose whatever she wanted. :-)
beautiful! i love the clean, simple lines and the white space.
ReplyDeleteSarah, it came out GORGEOUS! I love it. And why stop quilting if you're getting it done? Can't wait to see the flying geese!
