This quilt was a total stash project. I used some of the last bits of many of my favorite designer fabrics. Do you recognize any of them?
The quilting on the center block area is an allover swirly pattern, repeated in the outer border. For the white inner border I used one of my favorites ~ it looks like ric-rac to me.
I was determined to find a backing in the stash and had enough of this blue fabric for the width and decided to repeat the white from the front.
To make it a little more interesting I added this strip of elephant fabric I had left over from making the elephant Christmas ornament.
The binding is a leftover from "Flutterby" by Tula Pink.
Yup! Leftovers sometimes work really well together!On a side note one of my favorite plants in the garden this time of year is my Beautyberry or Callicarpa. I love the color of the berries and the fact that they almost look fake. It is a real beauty!
