The Missouri Star Quilt Company has a daily deal email that I just can't quit checking out each morning. The Daisy Splash 10" squares came up one morning this summer and I snatched it up. Aren't these fabrics (by Jane Dixon for Andover) just the epitome of summer sunshine? With a bit of orange, lime, and grey from my stash, and good old Kona white for the sashing, the layer cake was enough to make a heavy twin quilt top. Fast and easy modern construction for the top with these oversize blocks and a bit of sashing.
Utility quilting with wooly nylon in red and lime, then some bright orange and a bit of grey (both A&E discontinuted threads) kept it easy and fast.
Like most colorful quilting, it shows up great on the white back when you see it in person. In a photo, not so much.
The sashing is more of the orange I added from stash, but there wasn't quite enough so a bit of the green got tacked on the end.
Thanks Toni, Dorothy, and Beth for keeping me company during the binding. :)
Lovely quilt!
