(inspired by this quilt)after completing the first 10 squares of this quilt I was very nervous (again). I wasn't sure it was going to look right. I contemplated scratching it and starting completely over, but my husband (and voice of reason) told me it was just because I don't work with purples very often.
I kept at it, afterall, I don't often redo things, and I am glad I did. These plums and pinks and golds are so pretty! The design is simple, but striking. I have become pretty attached to this quilt.The backing is mostly yellow, but I pieced one side...I always love a pieced back. I used to do fabulous pieced backs, it was my thing...lately I have been lazy and haven't been piecing. I need to un-lazy myself, because I really love the surprise a pieced back gives a quilt.
Available in my etsy shop, I'll be sad to see this one go...
