Well the pieced top went together in no time. This
Strip and Flip design by Cluck Cluck sew really is a very quick quilt top to put together. I bought gorgeous purple Moda fabric for the backing, basted it and then procrastinated on the quilting.
I originally had in mind a swirly pattern but then changed my mind to straight line quilting. When I first decided to make this quilt from the tutorial on Cluck cluck sew I had friends in mind expecting in the summer but as I was piecing it I was thinking of a different friend the whole time. So maybe that change of mind influenced the finish. I am very pleased with it and just happy to finally have a finish under my belt!
If only the Irish weather would co-operate I'd have better photos. Supposedly going to be good this weekend. Here's hoping.

I love this! It's such a simple design, yet so eye catching. Great job on the quilting. I like how you changed up the quilting in the reversed strip.
ReplyDeleteA simple and pretty design. Thank you for showing us.
ReplyDeleteI love this. The big punch this quilt is wonderful. I think I am going to try one and I have NEVER done straight stitch quilting and it is on my list of things to learn this summer. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteWhat a terrific quilt! The colors are beautiful and I like your quilting. I'm a fan of straight line quilting, sometimes it's the best for a quilt. I'm going to have to look into this pattern for some charity quilts I'm planning on making.
ReplyDeleteSweet quilt, Ruth! I'm sure it will be well-loved. Whoop whoop!

ReplyDeleteI just copied this pattern to make! I really like your colors and quilting.
