where there's a will...

there IS a way. i started this quilt on monday knowing that i had to try and get it done for a surprise party today. and i DID it!!! i'm cutting it close but it's in the washer right now!:) i LOVE this quilt. i will be making one for me! :) i was on amanda's blog last saturday looking at some of her tutorials and came across this one!!! love it. you should check it out. it's called cart wheels.


i used a solid back from joanns. it's taupe. and a burnt/rusty orange solid for the binding. i'm REALLY getting into solids. connecting threads has SUPER nice solids at a very affordable price. you should check them out. :) wow i'm just sending you all over the place today!



here is just a little closer shot of some of the yummy fabrics in this quilt! these colors look like my friend and i hope she likes her 50th bday surprise party!!! :) hope you have a GREAT day and week!!!

  3. That turned out really nice! Great color combo. I like using solids for a backing; even eco muslin just because I like to save the prints for the front! :)

  4. Looks great. It's fun to see how different the pattern looks up close versus far away.
