Ever since January, I've been getting block assignments every other week from Yvonne @quiltingjetgirl, as I participate in the Effervescence Quilt Along. Thankfully, it's been easy to keep up, and finally, I have a quilt top!
At 56" x 72", it's a great size for a lap quilt. Though Yvonne will soon be sharing directions for a bonus quilt using HSTs created during the Effervescence piecing process, all along I've planned to use my leftover HSTs as I make a pieced backing. I have plenty of yardage left from my original fabric pull to make that happen, and hopefully for a binding too.
I'm already mulling over a quilting design and thread choice, so I'll hopefully be back before too long to share what I've decided. Meanwhile, I'm pretty excited to be moving forward with a completed top!
simply gorgeous small quilt....love love love it
ReplyDeleteHard to believe that with an every other week pace the quilts are ready to come together; yours looks beautiful! Ahhh, very smart to use those bonus HSTs for your backing; it will be fun to see where you go!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, a lot of work went into that top!
ReplyDeletelove your color choices and the transition from warm to cool!
ReplyDeleteAnother colorful winner! It's great to see you using-up all the fabric by making a backing too. You're my quilt-y hero!
