Oh it's beautiful! The fabrics are just stunning. At first I thought this was Natalie Barnes's fabric, now I will have to check out Beach Road. I'm thinking of trying out this style of matchstick quilting for a quilt I have, but I've never done it on a longarm before. Do you section it off and then go back and fill it, or do you just go from top to bottom, in small increments?
ReplyDeleteThis is such a pretty quilt. :))
ReplyDeleteSo cute, and I am in awe of your matchstick quilting!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun finish, Nancy! So quick, bright, and cheerful!
ReplyDeleteI need to try a random HST project. I have done 2 recently that were very structured, but I love the look of yours.
ReplyDeleteFun little quilt, to be sure! That’s quite the photo shoot! I enjoyed this post.
ReplyDeleteIt's really eye catching. How do you like the metallic thread? I've never used anything other than 100% cotton and SoFine. Thank you for linking up to Put your foot down.
ReplyDeleteLoved seeing it in person at club!
ReplyDeleteThat's a modern beauty for sure, Nancy. Love the play of those half square triangles.
ReplyDeletePerfect finish!!! and what a fun little quilt!!!
ReplyDeleteI am loving this - so easy yet so elegant. I do bet that thread is so much fun with those colors! Did it behave well in your machine?
ReplyDeleteLove the movement in this quilt. And of course, the metallic thread, which can be tricky, but so worth it. I hope it played nicely for you!
ReplyDeleteOh, those fabulous fabrics! Love the quilting thread, too :)
ReplyDeleteSEW super cute, Nancy!! I can't imagine loading a mini on the longarm. Too funny!
ReplyDeleteI love this one! The quilting puts it over the top! And the binding!
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy and cheerful finish! I love everything about this mini quilt! I like the metallic thread. Maybe I should try that sometime too.
