I'm so excited about all the Emerald Quilt Challenge Entries! You can see them for yourself (and enter!) over here.
Last year when I hosted the Tangerine Tango Quilt Challenge my quilt idea never came to fruition. I was super excited about orange too! This year my girls kept me on track and MADE me work. I'm so glad they did because I love this guy!
The design is from Quilting Modern . It's 27" x 27". Kind of a large mini, but I happen to have the perfect wall space for it. The quilting took a while, but I love how it turned out!
Oh my gosh, I love everything about this!!! Those colors are PERFECT together!! I'm really looking forward to your binding tutorial too - I've been improving my machine binding skills, but it eats away at me when you can see the first set of stitches!!
This is a great design - very well done!
oh yeah - so glad you finished it! It's lovely!
This looks awesome! I used the same AB fabric in a different colorway on a back too, it just fit. Where you going to hang it?
I love the pop of contrast in the centre - it really makes the green sparkle!
I bind like that often when I am short of time or if I know the quilt will get washed a lot. My trick is to cut the binding just 1/4 inch wider (so 2 3/4) and that gives me enough to that I know I'll cover the first row of stitching but not so much that I get a flappy edge on the back. Plus I love to topstitch.
Beautiful quilt! I made the Blind-co pilot from the "Quilting Modern" book and absolutely love it.
Great job. Love teh Amy Butler on the back.
Very pretty! The backing is perfect with those colrs.
Fabulous design and I love these colours with the hot pink!
