Please enjoy one of more recent finishes. I made the design created by CrazyMomQuilts. She's such a talented quilter with great ideas and designs. I love her work.
I took 18 inch squares of yummy Kona cotton and asked the VQB (virtual quilting bee on flickr) I was in to grab whatever scraps they had on their floor and sew them into strips. Let's face it - don't we all have little scraps laying all over the floor of our sewing areas...?
I got them back and about a year ago I put the top together. Then...the whirl wind hit - we decided to sell our house and move. That's a long story for another time. Anyway, let's just say that when you move - you have to box up your sewing room...
And then your husband might notice how many boxes there are. Especially when the mover says things like: "OH MY GOD - How much fabric is there in that closet???", or "you mean there's more---we're going to need more boxes." So that was a lot of fun.
We're finally settled in now. After reorganizing and reorganizing, and ...reorganizing - I think I finally have my sewing room in some sort of agreeable order. So out came this top and I quilted it.
So when someone asks me the usual question (how long did that take to make?) - I'll get to say about 2 years.

Whoo hoo!
I love this quilt. I like how you used different colors for the backgrounds. I wouldn't have thought it would work, but it does.
