I finally finished this quilt! I feel like it took years (I actually did start making it in back in January). It's actually pretty large in size - so let's chalk it up to that. I didn't really follow a pattern naturally. I used two vintage sheets and some vintage printed white cotton that was in grandma's stash to make this so I can officially cross #37 off my list. The quilting actually matches the blocks even in spaces where there is no block it's just the yellow. The back is pieced from blocks I didn't use and scraps of the prints left over and some pink fabric from Crimson Tate. I really wanted to have a hot pink and white binding for this but it seems I only have hot pink and other color fabric so I ended up using something I originally bought for a friends baby quilt, and of course because this is so big I needed more than I had so I used some leftover pink from Crimson Tate (Rach this is why I buy yardage clearly a 1/2 didn't cut it). Best part about this quilt is I'm keeping it. I started it with the intent of having it be one that stays at the bungalow - since I have only 2 quilts I made here.
Close up of the quilting. I love the imperfection.
And the back - you know the back actually is turned the wrong way. But it still works.
