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!!

Cindy it all looks fabulous to me - the quilt and the projects to come! Love how you used the large scale patterns in your XO quilt. And that grey will look great with those vibrant colours but keep it masculine.
