Citrus Sunshine Quilt--Finished!!

Citrus Sunshine Quilt -- Finished!!

With all of its orangey, lemony and limey goodness, the Citrus Sunshine Quilt is finally complete. The binding is a small, sort of animal print that is orange and yellow. The backing is a green background with multicolored polka dots. 

It has some random piecing in a strip near the top.  

Measures 30 x 43 inches. Perfect size for an infant or small child.

Now, does any one have a little one who would LOVE this??

I plan to put it in my Etsy Shop.

Christmas in July, Oh yeah!

 

I have been to a couple of "Christmas in July" events recently. Last Saturday, the Tampa Modern Quilt Guild had our Christmas Party (In July!).

We had a great time. Check out our pictures on our Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/groups/TampaMQG/

I have some truly talented guild mates. 

The Christmas in July has me thinking about the upcoming holidays. You know, those that will "be here before you know it". 

These are my families quilted stockings that I made a while back. Do you already have holiday projects lined up???

Progress, WIP Here we go, again!

WIP Wednesday

Completed my quilt top Sunday. I used the general principle of Cluck, Cluck, Sew's Strip and Flip Baby Quilt.

http://www.cluckclucksew.com/2012/07/tutorial-strip-and-flip-baby-quilt.html

I made a few changes, such as adding the solid strip between each print. In this version I cut the solid strips 2 inches and the prints are 2.5 inches. Then, as the name implies, I cut a section and flipped it with a different print strip on either side of the "flipped" section.

12/29/2013:

It started about a year ago. My son moved into a new place. He saw a painting that he liked and asked me to paint something similar for his bedroom. I had recently discovered Pinterest and was exploring quilts. I came upon this one http://www.eschhousequilts.com/2012/03/sedimentary.html and showed it to him. He asked if I could make something similar in greys and blue. Oh yes, in an over sized queen size. Sure I can. Famous last words. Life and work got in the way sometimes but slowly, very slowly progress was made. It was completed 12/24/2013 at 2 pm and presented to him that evening. Tell me what you think.

The paintings in the first photo I did on "commission" from Dear Son!
