a tall glass of raspberry lemonade

I really enjoyed making this quilt. I love the haphazardness of the colors and patterns on the front.
I love the fact that the quilting on each one is unique and I love the lines, love them.
Having said that, I am not a huge fan of the back. I think it's the fact that there is so little quilting on the back. It looks so plain ? Maybe ?


Because each block is quilted prior to being put together, once they are sewn together and you add the backing, you end up stitching in the ditch around each 12" square and that's it. So while it gets the job done, it doesn't do much for me in the way of design.

It's a little quilt. 44 inches by 33.5 inches if I remember correctly. I did not want to go overboard the first time trying "quilt-as-you-go". It was fun putting it together and something I will definitely try again.

In case you are wondering, it is for sale. Contact me if interested.
