I can finally stop making quilts for a while now that the last of my unfinished quilts is complete! Yay! I definitely need a break from my sewing machine for a while now. It seems like I've been free motioning for the last week straight and sewing on bindings like there's no tomorrow.
I switched up my normal stippling routine for this quilt and freehanded rows of loops instead, à la glittergoods.
I went with lime green for the binding and hot pink for the background and I really like how all of the colors contrast with the navy blue. I think this is my favorite quilt so far this year. It's just so bright and cheery and fun!
I love the color combinations here. The lime green is awesome!

I love the dark blue sashing, it's so unusual and it looks great with the lighter blue block borders. Nice job with the loopy free motion quilting too, it looks awesome :D

This quilt is so pretty! The colors are nice and I think the quilted loops are a great idea! They look a bit like bubbles. Very cool!

Love it! And love that loopy quilting!

I was just thinking about trying this type of quilting - I love how your loops came out! Very pretty. :)
Posted by: Sarah | 26 April 2009 at 10:48 PM
hooray for loopy quilting! your loops are much more orderly and polite than mine, but I think I like both types of loops for different types of quilts. can't wait to show you the car quilt--just needs a binding....

Oohhh... a return to navy blue! I think we don't see enough navy blue anymore. You've made it trendy with those bright colors and the lime green is just perfect. Awesome!
