It's finished! I really love this quilt. I used some 5 inch squares from the Heather Ross Mendocino line and some solid light grey and an orange tiny polka dot for the quilt top.
This is such a little boy quilt. I love it. It's fun and slightly masculine. And I fell in love with using grey! It's grey-t -- get it? I crack myself up...
Here's the back. I used lots of different orange and blue fabrics with polka dots and tiny patterns and some left over Mendocino stuff for a mismatched look. I like it, it kinda reminds me of chutes and ladders or something like that.
I love the quilting I did on this one. It's something new to me. I quilted on the diagonal in sets of 3 organic-ish lines with grey thread. It turned out even better than I expected. I think the quilting gave it an even more fresh modern edge and added a lot of texture.
The finished dimensions are 52"x52" and I machine stitched the binding.
love this quilting...the whole thing looks beautiful.
