Back to quilting...

Did you miss me? I missed you! The past 2 weeks have been a whirlwind of babysitting, shopping, cooking and eating. All fun!!


Before I left, I finished quilting and binding my "XO" quilt. I was a bit obsessed by it and quilted this large quilt (74" x 86") in 6 days. I was so afraid to cut into my Pop Garden, wondering if I would be happy with the finished product. And I couldn't be happier!
The quilting is an overall design ~ teardrop shapes echoed and repeated.
My backing ended up being a strip of leftover pieces, yellow
and my favorite floral in the line.
The binding is a perfect red and white polka-dot ~ Bliss.
I've got a few new projects to work on this week. My daughter and I found this beautiful pillow in Anthropologie and I'm going to give it a try to replicate it.
And I started cutting this quilt last night. I'm doing Metro Link. It'll be a gift for my son ~ I've been trying to find the perfect quilt for him for years and I'm hoping this is it!
I'm also playing with some more chevron designs and I'll have a little tutorial coming up soon! Have a great week!!
