This was a really fast quilt for me...
It only took 3 evenings after work from start to finish!
(about 3-4 hrs each night)
One of my favorite fabric designers is Sweetwater...
and a few months ago, I was given this wonderful line called
Road 15 by my fellow bloggie friend, Susan. I had the wonderful chance to meet here.
I remember when they were planning this cute little line...
they asked all of us out here in blog land to send in our addresses to be included in the fabric...
I added a few strips of Hoffman Bali Pops Tiramisu Batiks, which is another one of
my favorite fabric designers...and finished it off with some
Robert Kaufman Kona Charcoal for the binding.
I decided to experiment a bit here too and quilt each block a little different...
it's my first time to try it...I usually chicken out not wanting to ruin any fabric!
Am I the only one that has that fear???
I also decided to open my stitch up just a bit...and I have to say,
I did like that better...it looked more like quilting stitches.

It's not perfect, but now I can say I have tried it...and hopefully it will get better!!!
It did crinkle nicely after I washed it, and that makes it feel nice and soft...
Best thing is that I have another finish for 2014!!!
Happy weekend everyone!
I like it with the batiks intermingled with it. Very cool. Yay for a finish!
ReplyDeleteSweet. I like how it turned out.
ReplyDeleteLove it to pieces because it's gorgeous malorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful! Great colors too.
ReplyDeleteLana I love that Sweetwater fabric too - and I love how you used it. I think you did a great job of quilting it. I'm not great at machine quilting but I love quilting rather than sending them out....that's just a bit too expensive for my pocketbook. And the more I do it the better I get, though it's not ever going to be professional. blessings, marlene
