Kate's Quilt

Oh, hello.  I'm back from my blog break.  A few weeks ago I got a surprise (and welcome) promotion, and the excitement drove me offline for a while. But now school is out for the summer, and I've got some things to show you.

This past weekend, my lovely friend Kate got married! I was quite busy making a quilt for a wedding gift, and a dress to wear to the big event.  The dress still needs some photos, but here's the quilt!

Her wedding colors were hot pink and lime green, and she also happens to have a room in her house decorated in those colors and chocolate brown.  It's a great color combination, and it makes a fun quilt! (The colors are a little washed out in the sunshine, but in real life they're really bright.)

I admired Chawne's Blue Whimsy quilt top so much that I had to make a version of my own.  Since there is a lot of blank space, the quilt went together quickly, and I love the minimalist look.

I mainly used a new fabric I had bought for the backing, but I also pieced in some leftovers from the quilt top.  And the binding was those leftovers again pieced together.

This was a fun project to get me back into quilting again, and I hope the new bride and groom enjoy it in their home!
