So Long, Farewell

I'm glad to say that the Hopscotch top is done.
 I love the palette.
Rather than deal with templates, I borrowed my friend's 60-degree ruler, and just measured and cut.
I think this is the first time I pieced triangle blocks, but they weren't hard.
I'm pretty pleased how it looks all stitched up.
And isn't there just something about a quilt top blowing in the breeze on a sunny day?
But now it's time to pack this baby up and check in with my long-armer. A simple pieced backing is made from Domestic Bliss by Moda; the binding, Kona Medium Gray to match the triangle points.
Come back soon, Hopscotch!

Linking up with Fabric Tuesday.

    Ha! Saw your blog post title and wondered where you were going. :) Have you used a long-armer before? The quilt looks great and I love the background fabric.

    It's gorgeous and I love the grey. Did you sew strips and then cut? Just trying to figure out how the little grey diamond gets pieced ; /

    Everything about the quilt is fabulous - the binding and backing will be the perfect final touch. Simply must give this pattern a try after seeing your top.
