I finished this quilt a while ago, but hadn't taken pictures of it...today seemed like a good evening for a quilt shoot...so Ry and I headed outside to snap some photos...
I love this quilt....it's such a gorgeous vintage color palette....
when I first saw this line, Dream On by Urban Chiks for Moda, I could not wait to get my hands on it....it reminded me of the old sheets we used to use out on the lawn and to build forts over chairs in the play room when we were growing up...
I added the scrappy middle border on a whim and think it really makes the quilt work....
I love all the colors in these fabrics...especially that deep yellow orange....which I used for the binding and is included in large stripes on the back...the backing fabrics were my two favorites from the line which i stashed quit a bit of, the blue and white stripe and the floral on blue....
Quilting is mirrored lines along the seams of the tumblers and straight lines in the inner and middle borders...
the outer border has a free motion quilted daisy chain which is really sweet and perfect for this quilt....
this quilt makes me smile and gets a lot of use...I've dubbed this quilt Vintage Fresh since those are the first two words it brings to mind....it's the perfect bright summery quilt!!
