I see I started (and finished) this one back in May 2011. Back in the days when I used to pre-wash all of my fabrics.(And water-blast the concrete under the clothesline.) I think this was the first fabric bundle I ordered from Fabricworm.
The backing comes from Spotlight. The binding from Ribbon Rose in Ellerslie. And Carol Fearon quilted it.
This one measures about 185 x 185cm (72 x 72"). I liked it at the time, but now find the lime green a bit lime green. I don't dislike it though. It might just sit rolled up in a basket until I need it.
I was just thinking I was all caught up, but then I remembered my wool quilt and my stitchery quilt sit tops finished. They are hand quilting jobs though. As soon as I get my Circle Game quilt done, I might quilt them.
PS Everyone was so nice and positive about The One I Think I Ruined. Thank you! I think it comes down to it not turning out as I expected. This was why I hated art at Intermediate school - nothing every turned out as I pictured it in my head. I complained so much my parents would not let me take art at high school. The only reason I wanted to do art at high school was so I could carry round one of those big A3 cardboard envelopes! Instead I did subjects like typing, economics and Maori.
What's not to love about this. Lime green is the best! My current nail colour right now : )
ReplyDeleteYou'll love this happy quilt in the dead of winter.....
You are a finishing machine this month - another nice finish!
ReplyDeleteLove the red and green together! I think the lime will come into its own in summer and look great on a couch or as a picnic rug.
ReplyDeleteI really like your colour combo here. I also really liked the high school art story too :-)
ReplyDeleteThe splash of raspberry red looks great with the lime and grey. Like that binding fabric too.
ReplyDeleteWhat alot of lovely finishes! L
ReplyDeleteoh i like it! Feels like a crossover quilt between winter and spring colour wise. Very nice! It's not too late to start carrying around an A3 cardboard envelope ;)
ReplyDeleteI love this, I think it brightens up a winter day, with fresh spring like colours. I used to love carrying around and A3 art envelope too - never anything good in it though. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this combo of colours. One of my favourites of yours! xx
