The color inspiration was this strawberry fabric from Ruby Star Society. I had some Kona Teal and Kona Lingerie that worked beautifully with the colors in the print.
I pulled teal and pink prints from my stash to make the star blocks. You'll notice that one block uses Kona Raisin instead of the light pink Lingerie. That's because I was short on yardage and decided to work with what I had on hand.
I backed the quilt in the cute strawberry print and quilted it using straight lines.
I cut the leftover teal for the binding, but again ran short on yardage, so I inserted bits of the RSS strawberry print in the binding.
It's a nice big quilt and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out!
I really love the impact that the raisin has in the layout and design. What a vibrant, fun quilt!
ReplyDeletewhat a fantastic quilt!! just gorgeous take care and Happy Sewing from Iowa
ReplyDeleteI also love the design statement of the raisin in your quilt. Even if it was more of an "I need a solution" situation. It adds a lot of punch to the quilt. Enjoy your finish and stay well xo Melanie
ReplyDeleteI really love your quilt - the colors and pattern. Great job improvising your fabric use.
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous finish in a colorway I probably wouldn't have thought to try. I absolutely love the way the raisin color adds a lively accent to the quilt. Isn't it fun when we make do with what we have on hand and end up with results that really make a quilt sing. The addition of the print in the binding is terrific too.
