Allow me to introduce my first finished w.i.p. of 2015!
This Kaleidoscope quilt has been sitting for a year waiting for some attention.
It started with a request to my bee mates in the That Stash Bee to make two paper pieced blocks for me in pink, orange, and low-volume fabrics. I made more until I had 30 blocks.
Then a top was born.
And then I quilted it using an overall paisley design.
I love the bright colors of this quilt and the illusion of circles created by the dark and light values.
On the back and binding there is more pink, a Flea Market Fancy print that I’ve been hoarding for just the right quilt.
My bee mates were such sweethearts to help me make this quilt. I am grateful for the gift of their time and stitching to turn my pink and orange vision into a reality.
Linking up to Finish It Up Friday and A Lovely Year of Finishes!
