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!

Looks wonderful!
It's really lovely and goes almost perfectly with the models boots. xxxx
I think the purple border looks great. Lovely work.
A very Happy quilt! Love it...
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!
