After the terrifically damp weather we’ve had, I had no problems coming up with a name for this quilt: April Showers
Remember this quilt? Well after playing around with the layout a little, I finally decided on layout #2.
I’m really happy with the end result. Originally I thought I wanted more gray in the front of the quilt, but I found that I liked it better as the backing. Oh, I LOVE the back.
For the quilting I did some sweet little loopies – its one of my favorite ways to quilt. It just flows so gracefully and it’s just charming I think.
The binding is a coordinating print from the same Riley Blake line (Rainy Days and Mondays.) I didn’t include any of it in the quilt itself – I saved it all for the binding and I’m glad I did! The finished quilt measures 38 x 40, and it’s listed in the shop!
Love it, as usual! I have some of that line, but none of the fun umbrellas. :(
ReplyDeleteLooks perfect! I am plugging away on my Rainy Days big mama quilt top, but have a fair amount left over....may have to whip up a couple extra quilts along these lines to show off the bigger prints. Pretty!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I love the little umbrellas!
