This quilt is fast becoming a favourite of mine and I am savouring the time I spend on this project. I loved how I could see the rainbow coming together with each row that were pieced together.
This quilt has lots of different fabric prints in it, which is a reflection of my stash: solids, near solids, stash builders, florals. But there are still lots of novelty prints, especially with animals which I always seem unable to resist. Some favourites to mention here are: Socks the Fox by Patty Sloniger, Chicken Party by Creative Thursday, some Briar Rose prints by Heather Ross and Wee Wander by Sarah Jane Studios. Is there anything nicer than combining your favourite fabrics together in a quilt?
I think not!
I made a mid-week visit to Craft Den for the backing and binding and I love my choices. I'll share them with you when the quilt is finished. Tomorrow I'm going to baste and begin the quilting. A lovely sewing weekend awaits me!
It is beautiful Emmajane! Have fun quilting at the weekend! :) x
