WIP Wednesday


Here is the quilt top done!  Woohoo!  Got to love a jelly roll that whips up as quickly as this!  This is from a couple of years ago.  It's called Happy by Me & My Sister.  I went with joining the strips together without a colour strip between.  I took it to work yesterday to pick a border & possible binding.  I ended up with this purple from the range as well as the yellow stripe from the range for the binding.  It should be ok.  I quite like the purple border.  I did think about white but it looked awful as is often the case.  I took five different fabrics to try against it & I of course ended up with what I didn't expect I would.  I often find this is the case with customers that come in with some colour in mind for their quilt & they end up with something completely different because it is what looks best!  Of course it happens to me too!  :-)  

I hope I can get it basted soon.  I should have a little bit of a basting day as I have 3 I could do.  Plus a couple of advent calendars that need doing...  hmmmm...

Linking up with Work In Progress Wednesday!

The fabric is appropriately named. That is one Happy quilt. I just adore all of Me & My Sister's fabric lines.

the quilt is lovely, the colours so nice and fresh. Love the bright bit of orange that sneaks in every now and then - great stuff!
