TGIFF - Bee Round Robin

I did it!!!  I finished my January OMG goal.



Winter is depressing because it's cold and dark...and because it's hard to get decent photos.


Quilting is a free motion stipple with black thread in the black background -- very hard on the eyes.  I also did some quilting in the star.


I was 6-inches too short with Kona Peacock for the binding, so had to add a little bit of Kumquat.  Not that I'm complaining about that.  😊


I used Kona Black for the background and Lipstick, Flame, Orange, and Kumquat for the centre star.

This is also one of my Q1 FAL goals.

    The quilt turned out beautifully. I think the effort to quilt in the black only was worth it and really helps the colors pop that much more. The quilt reminds me of arcade video games. :)

    Knowing your outside the box kind of thinking, I never would have even blinked at that little piece of orange binding. I would have figured you did it on purpose! This is a WONDERFUL finish, Anja! Love it! What do you call it? Big Bang? :)

    Oh Anja it's superb! I love the bit of whimsy (that I thought you did on purpose!) in the binding. What is it called again?

    This is such a fun quilt! I love the bright colours against the dark background. Really makes them pop and the quilting helps to bring a third dimension. What a happy finish!

    Your black background really showcases the bright colours ! I love the Kumquat scrap in the binding. Good thing you was short of fabric ;-) Thanks for participating in the 2017 FAL, visiting on behalf of the 2017 FAL cheerleading team.
