Not quite as fast as Jess, who just made a quilt in a day (!!!), but I think this is a record for me - start to finish in about 4 days of on/off sewing time. And I couldn't be more pleased with how this little quilt turned out. It is now listed in my Etsy shop. {finished size: 34" x 42"} My inspiration was this quilt by Lu. I loved it when I saw it and knew that I'd use my Kate Spain Cuzco charm pack. Then, completely against what I normally do, I used pure white as a background and as you can see, I got carried away and bordered and bound it in white as well! For the first time, I used a double layer of cotton batting for this quilt (thanks to all who gave me advice about this last week). The batting I was trying to use up is so very thin, so I thought it wouldn't make much difference, but boy was I wrong! It adds so much more weight to the quilt and a lot more poof too! I am glad that I didn't venture out to do FMQ on this one though, with the double layer of batting. That said, I don't know if anything other than straight lines could keep with the simplicity of this quilt anyways. The quilt is backed with a quilting cotton I found in the clearance section at my local Fabricland - it doesn't even have anything printed on the selvedge so I have no idea what it is, but it suits this little quilt perfectly. The above photo doesn't quite do it justice (on a side note, I learned that it's really difficult to photograph pure white on a sunny day!) And, exciting news, this little quilt will be going into my Etsy shop, which should hopefully be opening up in the next week or so!! I'm sort of setting October 1 as my launch date, not that I expect a booming business but I'm excited none the less about getting started. I will be linking up with {Sew} Modern Monday @ Canoe Ridge Creations, and Fabric Tuesday @ Quilt Story, Finish it up Friday @ Crazy Mom Quilts
