Contrary to Melissa's instructions, I am going to leave this in my To-Be-Quilted pile. It will make #3! Some day, hopefully before this year is out, I will have a quilt frame and a place to indefinitely keep a quilt up on a frame and I will have lots of people over at my house helping me quilt this for the Battle ALS with Flowers event in April.
Just for fun, here's the block itself. Thanks Melissa for hosting this QAL! I can't wait for the next one.
Your top looks so incredibly lovely!!! I love the flower background, it makes you focus on that and not the surround and creates a whole new look. So fun!! Great job on your top, it is just stunning!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Melissa! I think I was the only one who did this QAL that used a print as the back ground. I can't wait to get it hand quilted. I promise I'll show you pics when I do. ;)
DeleteI just love how changing the solid/print on this makes for a unique design = lovely job!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I thought it would be a fun twist.
DeleteWow! Love that blue for the surrounds - what a spark!
ReplyDeleteThis looks great with the print fabric! Fun way to change the look.
ReplyDeleteLove what you did with this! Makes me think of trying another one, only much much smaller than the first one I've made!
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt top. Might have to try a second top with a print background. I like it!
ReplyDeleteWow! Your fabric choices really caused the secondary pattern in this quilt to show up. I had never noticed it before seeing yours. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAh the joys of negative space. I'm glad I could enlighten you. ;) Thanks for the comment.
DeleteNow that's a pin-worthy quilt, if I ever saw one!
