It is the same size as my previous Sunburst quilt - 42" x 55" - and constructed in the same manner as the tutorial that I wrote earlier in 2012. Click on the "Tutorials" tab above to access those instructions.
I quilted this one with an all-over meandering stitch in light pink thread. And I added a bright pink stripe cut on the bias for the binding - I love, love, love a bias stripe binding!
My color inspiration came from this lovely backing fabric in the Benartex Sun-Kissed collection by Michelle D'Amore. This print is called "Spray" in her Tropical colorway.
The number 1, Group A item on my UFO list now complete! That means I'm down to 28!
It is still sooo cold here in Northern Illinois, but the sun is shining and the birds are singing on this fine Friday morning :) Happy Weekend everyone!
This is such a great pattern and you did another amazing job on it - they will be thrilled to have it in the shop, I'm sure. That backing is perfect. AND, from one list-maker to another, congrats on getting one more off your list!
ReplyDeleteI adore this quilt, Shelley! I MUST make it!! I wish that I could be in your class....now that would be fun!
