I had so much fun working on this quilt. I used this tutorial on Moda and it was fun and easy to make. I did a lot of chain piecing in the early stages of the quilt because you sew 144 pieces together several times before you're ready to organize your top and piece the rows. For my second border I just pieced the leftover pieces of fabric at their 2.5" width. I didn't bother cutting them down to 1.5" pieces. It was simply more efficient to do it the other way. I also didn't sew full ovals before piecing them together. I simply arranged the quilt then piece the quarter ovals into rows and the the rows into the quilt top. So much faster.
I used Stitch by Betz White for Robert Kaufman and I fell in love with about every fabric in that line. I love the colors and the designs.
My friend Amy gave me the idea for quilting it. I started quilting inside a square then every 2" throughout the rest of the quilt. It was easy and fast and I love how it turned out. This was a really fun quilt to do and I'm finding it hard to part with this one. I told my sister in law that I will just have to enjoy it every time I'm at her house.
Happy Birthday/Christmas Carolyn!
