I love love this quilt. It will so perfect slung over the back of my couch for the summer. I fixed that Oops block…and despite many of you telling me to “leave it”….it would have made me a crazy lady so I fixed it. I’m weird like that.
I pieced the back…the two large pieces are from The Good Life Collection from Robert Kaufman hitting stores in June & the navy blue strip is the Denyse Schmidt collection at Joann’s. I quilted swirls & loops on this one…it turned out really really good.
I have to say a big ol’ thank you to my husband for standing out in public holding up quilts while the wind is blowing and his wife is barking orders….love you lots Jay.
Wouldn’t ya know that the day after Market I got the flu? I’m counting my blessings I got it after market and not during. Puking & patterns just don’t mix.

"Puking & patterns just don’t mix." <-- This seems t-shirt or poster worthy. ^_-
In all seriousness -- I hope you're feeling better!

Puking and Patterns is my favorite new blog! hahahaha
The quilt looks fab. The husband looks patient.

Jessica
Ooh I love this quilt! So summery and cool looking! Great job! :) and isn't it wonderful how patient our husband can be when we rope them into a quilt photographing session! ;^)
jmday
I know what you mean about one off block driving you nuts... no way I could have lived with that either! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the green fabric on the back. I will have to seek some of that out for my "green" quilt (that is really in infant stage of me collecting a billion different fabrics!)
Lara
Love this quilt! Looks brilliant. And your hubby is a good hubby for helping you :) I will be showing my hubby this post!! tehehe
Neil
Saw you at market and loved your stuff!! Didn't know until Sunday when my VT, Ceri, came that you were a relative of hers. Now I will check your blog out every chance I get!
Vicki

This quilt is totally "on track" for me--it's great! Yay for not getting sick until after market. BOO for having to puke. I can hardly think of anything worse. Except for maybe an unexpected run-in with a snake. Because I'm phobic like that.
SewHappyGeek
I love the quilt! Love the choice of fabrics too :) and I'm so sorry you're ill, I went through 3 months of minimal food last year as my tummy wouldn't hold anything. Anyway, what I mean to say is that sometimes puking isn't optional. But it's not the normal state of things, so bodies tend to get over it as soon as possible. I hope you feel better really soon, and can't wait to see what you make next!
amy smart
Ooh, sorry about the puking. Hopefully it wasn't food poisoning from some sketchy quilt-party you went to over the weekend . . .or maybe too much 80's music.
Amanda Murphy
Oh dear, you got it afterall. Our kids share everything with us, don't they? The quilt looks wonderful, though. It was lovely to meet you.
Nancy
Oh, so pretty. I love the fabric and the pattern.
Cory and Kylee
I love your quilts! I made the road trip quilt! I was wondering if you quilt for other people i am looking for someone to quilt two quilts i have the tops done.
Judy
I bought this one and another new one of yours from FQS. You didn't have any for sale. Love your quilts.
mujus
Love it! You pick so happy colours :)
Ruthmarie
So sorry about the flu ... it can happen with the adrenaline letdown after a major event, particularly a First Market (lovely booth!). You'll be an old hand at the next one ... hopefully Fall Market will not be as stroll-in-the-park-slow.
PatSloan
it was SO NICE to meet you at Market!!! i hope you had a great one!
euphoria
this came out so good- I love it!! hope you feel better!
susan
too funny! i love it when quilters include their hubbies in their pix of quilts!!
and how icky that you got the flu when you got back but as you say, at least it was after.
gorgeous quilt
Christine
Indulgent Husbands are the best!!!! Your quilts always make me smile. And that to me is one of the best things to find in a quilt!
Abby Norton Krane
What color thread did you use to do the quilting? It blends in nicely (from what I can tell in the pictures). I finished the a king size top using this pattern and will be doing it on a long arm this weekend. I am down to figure out thread color to quilt with and I can't decide. I used the Kate Spain "Honey Honey" line from Moda and it turned out great. I also added 2 borders, a 2 1/2 inch and a 5 inch. Thanks!
allison
I couldn't find your email Abby....but I wanted to tell you that I used white thread and usually do...and I would use white thread with the quilt your quilting too! Thanks! -Al
