Just a quick post between chores and work. :-) Last week I started this top, and over the course of maybe three 3 hour nights, I finished it. And in my world, "3 hours" accommodates a lot of "oh look at the kitty" moments, so it was probably more like 4 or 5 hours of actual work. I haven't decided if I want to add a border or not, but I got material to do so...it's in the wash right now though, so pics will have to wait.
Anyway, I used
this pattern from Moda Bake Shop, but used Crazy 8 instead of Awesome. Honestly, I kind of like these colors a lot better...I feel like there's more contrast but less busy-ness. But that's just me. :-) Either way, it was a fun and cute pattern, and used up about 98% of the jelly roll, which is awesome.
Also, I found a pretty little vase in among the wedding gifts (thanks, Blankinships!) that holds my bouquet perfectly while we're looking for a time capsule box to put everything in. :-)

Very Pretty Kat!
I love that pattern. I printed it too and have it on my list. I will have to enjoys yours virtually until I can have one of my own :)
That quilt is so peaceful.
That is a very good example to show that great quilts do not have to be complex. It is beautiful, the way you have arranged the colours couldn't have been better.
Very cute, fresh look! Your vase was a great find! :)
I like how you put the diagonal stripe next to the plaid. Very nice pattern. Don't you just love to use up the entire matchy matchy jelly roll. If there are leftovers they never manage to work quite the same again. Sounds like congratulations on a wedding might be in order?
I love this quilt and took a look at your wedding photos from an earlier post, too, since I'm new to your blog! You were a beautiful bride and it looks like you had fun and all got along, which is saying something in this day and age!! Congratulations and here's wishing you only joy!
