I used Kona Natural for the background, as well as Kona Orange, Tangerine, and Pimento. I had planned to use purple, but I didn't have the right colours. But guess what? I had plenty of oranges in my stash. 😉 I'm sure that doesn't come as any surprise to those who regularly follow me.
I made the crib size which finishes 35 x 44 inches. The pattern also has throw and twin sizes included. I had a great print in my stash for the back. Now I wish I had purchased more of it.
I quilted straight lines of varying widths with my walking foot using Aurifil 2150 Pumpkin thread. I used my favourite Hobbs Heirloom Premium 80/20 batting.
This is a great pattern that is easy to follow. I would definitely make this pattern again. Make sure to visit Riane to grab your pattern -- I heard it's on sale for the weekend.

Very nice, Anja! Perfect background!
ReplyDeleteThe backing is definitely perfect and I love the oranges together. Congratulations on the beautiful finish!
ReplyDeleteAnja, you did a fantastic job with this quilt! I love the simple quilting! :-)
ReplyDeleteSuch an Anja quilt!! Wonderful job. :-) Seems to be a theme with you lately wishing you had more of certain prints for backing lol
ReplyDeleteGreat colors and a great pattern. Was it fast? Love fast baby quilts.
ReplyDeleteWow - you've been busy with the testing! This one is another really successful finish - I love the colours and the simplicity of the quilting. And that backing really is perfect! I'm going to have to check out that pattern because the design is so flexible! I can see a bed size quilt in shades of blue for my son who is desperate for another quilt!
ReplyDeleteI'm not at all surprised you had enough orange fabrics, lol :) I love the simplicity of the pattern and your quilting lines are perfect.
