Thanks to Patty @ Elm Street Quilts and Kristin @ Simple Handmade Everyday for another great hand-pieced pattern and QAL.
This finishes at 28 inches. I used Kona Grapemist (background), Lemon, Bright Pink, and Chartreuse.
I did machine stitch the binding to the front but hand stitched it to the back.
I used matching perle cotton, but in the corners, I stitched a line of each of the four colours.
I found a fun print in my stash to use for the backing.
I enjoy big stitch quilting on small projects like this.
I used my favourites:
