Though I finished this quilt last year (and am only getting around to blogging about it now!), I actually started it back in 2010, not long after we moved to Maryland. I made the blocks as part of the
Stitch DC Mystery Quilt Along, and stashed them away until last year.
I stuck with a lime green and periwinkle color palette, using prints from Amy Butler, Heather Bailey, and Cloud9 Fabrics. Though I played around with numerous layouts and considered incorporating borders and sashing, I wound up laying out the blocks in a simple grid pattern, which I think suits it perfectly!
I selected a fun, bright Amy Butler print from my stash for the back and love how it coordinates with the front. For the binding, I used a light blue and white seersucker stripe for a pop of texture. After quilting and washing, the quilt came out so soft and squishy---perfect for snuggling.
It's so nice to finally have this quilt done!
It's now for sale in the Salty Oat Etsy shop. UPDATE 11/21/14: This quilt is now available for purchase at
Cary Quilting Company, in downtown Cary, North Carolina.
