My Valentine’s Day gift to myself is this finished quilt.
I’m calling it “Vroom! Vroom!” for the little scooter in the middle and the speed at which I got this one done. I started on Thursday, February 9th and finished today, 5 days later. I think this is my quickest quilt yet.
It started as an answer to the Tangerine Tango challenge. I took the risk of doing an improv quilt. I never know how those quilts are going to turn out. This one wanted to be more white than tangerine.
There is so much more white than tangerine that I don’t think it is a good fit for the Tangerine Tango challenge. That means I need to come up with another idea.
Fortunately, I’ve got plenty of other ideas brewing in my mind.
Remember the wonky stars I mentioned back in this post? I’m going to give those a try next. This project will be less improvisational – I say less as I can’t keep from having some improv emerge.
I’m linking up with [Sew] Modern Monday, Sew Darn Crafty, and Fabric Tuesday.
Thanks for stopping by! Happy Valentine’s Day!

Too cute, Nicole! I love the scooter!
Love the quilting! Great job woman
It may not work for the tangerine challenge, but in every other way it is terrific! I just love it and the quilting is perfect for it! I just started a baby wonky stars , wonky stars are my favorite!
This is lovely! I want to try something similar for a baby quilt (improv with lots of negative space) – just go to rustle up some 'letting go'! Your quilting really tops it off.
A great prezzie to you!! Wonderful. Kxx
Very cute, and love that wee scooter block
It's just adorable! And I love the little bits of tangerine against the white. I think you should still enter it into the Tangerine Tango Challenge – it's definitely tangerine enough! 🙂
I love it!
Love all of that tangerine! Great piecing. It turned out so fun.
oh this is great fun! I love your quilting, Nicole! Would love to hear you share about that process…
What a fabulous project, so creative. And I'm jealous how fast you finished a project, good work! The scooter killed me…LOVE.
Thanks for linking!
Wow, that's an impressive finish!! Love the piecing and all that negative space!! Super fun quilt!! Happy Heart's Day!! Not sure why it doesn't like my bloomingpoppies account– using my google backup instead!!

love the quilting and the small pieces!
Eeeekkk, it's lovely! I am aiming to try the square quilting on my next quilt. Yours looks great.
I love this! I would really like to know the process. Did you have white squares that you cut in the tangerine?
Stunning!! I love the improv and the quilting is just perfect!
Simply love this, especially the quilting. How did you do the quilting? Did you use a free motion foot? Your corners are so sharp, mine always end up too rounded. Just Love it
Don't forget to add these pictures to the Flickr group entry thread. I didn't see them over there yet and this is a stunning quilt!
Great colours and layout.
Wow! You are quick! I love the square quilting- goes along nicely with the piecing. Gorgeous!
Nice quilt! The colors are so juicy! Good luck with the challenge!
