It's a birthday present, and even though the recipient doesn't read my blog, I'll hold off using her name.
This was a truly improv quilt. The recipient loves black and white, and so I made stripes here and there. Also, her home decor includes this pale blue and yellow. It is nap/lap size. I picture her knitting or watching a movie under it this winter.
The backing is a Dear Stella fabric called Mist Birds Paloma. It coordinates with the floral on the front of the quilt. They were the first fabric purchase I made after I returned to quilting in the new improv era. I've been saving them for a special quilt.
finished size: 41" x 55 1/2"
UPDATE: She loves it!

All I can say is she's ONE LUCKY GAL!!! Adore the color combination!
ReplyDeleteI'll give it to her this evening, Robin. I can't wait. I'm so glad you love the colors together. Thank you! xoxox
DeleteI totally agree with Robin. I can hardly wait to find out who she is!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so grateful, Boots. I am positive she would not see this post, but I'll hold off until after I give it to her this evening. Thank you! :) xoxox
DeleteSo pretty! That bird backing is especially beautiful! Four star, Ruth!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you, Jeanie! I had to just check and see if I had used the little black dots you gave me, but no, it's a rare quilt lately that doesn't have that. Yes, this fabric is just fabulous, and very soft. xoxox
