Friday and a Finish! I was easy on myself for this month's edition of ALYOF... you can read all about my slackitude
in this post (#93 in the
Goal Setting Party).
All that self deprecating talk aside, I did achieve my goal for this month - to bind a Kona strip baby quilt that's been hanging out in the studio for some time. I made this quilt to figure out how long it takes me to make one of my
Kona strip baby quilts. I've been having some thoughts about selling my wares. I'll be sharing the break down in a future post... when I've had time to run it through the
Sparkle-ator. And recover from the results!
This quilt features quite a list of Konas! The greys are Silver and Steel. The teals are (in alphabetical order of course!) Aqua, Azure, Bahama Blue, Breakers, Capri, Caribbean, Pool, Robin Egg, Teal Blue, and Ultramarine. This was a stash raider... mostly scraps and a few large cuts from the Kona Hoarde.
The quilting is a wide, wavy, wiggly organic line motif done in teal. How's that for quilting buzzwords? My goal here was to make the quilting interesting without investing a lot of time.
The backing is an oh so nicely priced find from the flat fold section at my LQS. 5.99$/m for a backing fabric? Yes, please!
Gratutitous tulip pic!
The binding is Kona Ultramarine. I machine stitched it, also in a bid to save time. I'm not in love with the results... I likely need more practice!
My quilty and Girl Guide-y pal Anja (of
Anja Quilts) is hosting TGIFF today, so there's no way I wouldn't be linking up over there. And because I'm apparently addicted to link-ups, I'll be popping over to
Finish Up Friday @ Crazy Mom Quilts AND
ALYOF Finish Party for May! Wheeee!!!!
Happy Week-end!

That said, here's a little fabric eye candy that made it's way into my stash last week. Some lovely Cotton & Steel - Dottie's Cousin Lime, Dottie's Cousin Mint, Hot Cross Buns Natural (all from Rashida Coleman-Hale's Mochi Line), and Study Hall from the Black & White Collection.
