I have a show and tells today, but no   binding on ...ugg, I'm so bad at finishing quilts and getting that binding on, that last step.

This  quilt is a whole cloth quilt, I just absolutely love this fabric by Kaffe Fassett.  The vase and flowers and colors.  I wanted to try this quilt design also and wanted it to show up, so I used a solid cream backing with this reallly bright green thread, well I like it, and I have a polkadot print whenever I get the binding on.

Last week's give away winner of the cards picked by random generator is:  #5 Niki from Maison Mutt

Niki send me your addressvia email and I'll get those shipped out to you.  Congrats!!

Doll quilt/art quilt, have you ever had that wonderful feeling that something came out just how you intended it to from idea to the actual piece, I have to say for this little quilt that is what happened for me.  I had this beautiful piece of Kaffe Fassett fabric, the center piece with the vase of flowers, {love this group, came in several color ways} and I thought it reminded me of a painting, so I didn't want to cut it up, I thought I would just "frame it", so I found the sweet polka dot and the silhouette fabrics to coordinate and just added the borders.  I backed it with a solid pink kona and tried a panto quilt design I hadn't used yet and it quilted it with a light pink thread .  I had crocheted this border trim in cotton and was going to use on a pillow case, but I decided I'd try it on this and I really like it, even if I did have to fudge it to make it work. 

Have a great weekend, happy pink saturday.  Blessings, Michelle
