it's a process
stef happened to be in philly on my birthday weekend a couple of months ago, so of course we got together for a couple of dinners.
she put together a little gift for me, enabling my new obsession!
so I quickly started matching it up with some of the fat quarters I picked up at my local quilt shop. the theme quickly turned into orange.
tom wanted a big quilt. so I had a lot of cutting and piecing to do.
it slowly turned into, what I'm calling, my summer quilt. the colors are a little retro but fresh.
126 strips, 54 blocks, 9 towers later I have a queen size top (that is dobby approved)
the back was pieced as well, with one tower.
and secret little snippets.
now to sandwich it all together, quilt, and bind.
Comments
Secret snippets???
it is so gorgeous - makes me want to dive into my storage unit and pull out all my fabric!

Keep this up and I'll hold you 100% responsible if I cave into quilting as my new obsession.

I absolutely adore this! I really need to learn how to sew better because I want a quilt like this for my bed!
