i'm totally excited to have finished this quilt.  like i said before, i started it FOREVER ago and then pregnancy and newborn life took over.  so, here it is, in all it's red and aqua glory!  i really do love it and had a great time making it.  weirdly enough, i did enjoy the stippling process and for some reason, like the binding process.  and i might add, that nothing is better than pulling a freshly laundered quilt from the dryer to see the new crinkly look the quilt has taken on.  oh, and finding a place to display the quilt is pure happiness!

 

This quilt was inspired by one I saw on Etsy in THIS SHOP.  I contacted Nettie and asked her if she would put a red and aqua scrap pack together for me and I told her I trusted her judgment of fabrics to include.  She did not disappoint, as I received a wonderful collection of popular designer fabrics and super cutie Japanese imports.  I also had several red and aqua's of my own to add to the mix.  Even though that was a LONG time ago, I still like to follow what Nettie is doing on her blog, A QUILT IS NICE.  It's always inspiring.  Thank you Nettie!  :)

 

The wind blew the quilt just perfectly so you can see the backing.  Because I work within a (small) budget, I usually have smaller amounts of fabric in my stash.  Even though I would have loved to go purchase the new fabric that I had envisioned being the "perfect backing" or what I wanted for the binding, I used what I had on hand.  The pro to this "being on a budget", is that it forces a little more creative thinking on my part, which has always led to, in my opinion, a more interesting outcome.  The rest of the white, the aqua polka dots and the cherries were cut into different widths, for a striped, pieced backing.  The binding was also pieced and I love it! 

 

 

Now, I need to make another to keep the house extra cozy for the winter months ahead!
