Comentary on Lori's Quilt

I guess I should have posted more of a description. This was a UFO that Lori had for a few years. The print fabrics are Laurel Burch. The colors are beautiful. This picture does not do them justice. The background fabric is a muted pink & lavender sort of batik looking print. We were all very happy to see Lori finish this top. She bought a very nice olivey green & gold metallic for the backing. We did the pinning at S&B Sat, JUL 24. Can't wait to see it when it comes back from machine quilting.

Just for fun

I finished this quilt up about 3 weeks ago using some 9-patches I'd made from 2" squares as threadsavers. I also used some really fun Alexander Henry prints that I've had for years as the setting squares. The borders are a Kona Bay fabric that I bought on sale and intended to use for a quilt back; I enjoy the fabric so much though that I find myself using it in other ways. I pinbasted the quilt last weekend so hopefully I'll get it back from the quilter later in July.
