Don't these colours just scream spring/summer? I'm making a new lap quilt and noticed a couple of blocks that were turned around (like the one with the bright pink paper on the blue/yellow block) and after they were fixed, the rows are now being sewn together.
Then, a major oopsie .... I cut the sashing for one row the wrong size and didn't notice until it got pinned onto the design wall. Oopsie ....
I'm off to repair that and finish making this top.
When you click onto this photo, your eyes are not deceiving you ..... I ran out of sashing material and substituted another fabric for the bottom portion.
Years ago, this would have bothered me to no end and all of the sashing would have been ripped out and a new sashing used that was the same throughout. These days, I'm beyond that and am OK with what has been done. You know, using the stash ....
Have a great day, eh!
The colors remind me of Easter eggs!
ReplyDeleteA very pretty quilt - yes, so spring!

I like the fabric color choices.
ReplyDeleteRegarding your oopsie...Ive done that with clothing and quilting on more than one occasion....there's usually nothing but for me to say a few choice words to myeslf and at my work, pick it apart, and sew again :-)
It's sure a happy quilt!
ReplyDeleteSure is a sweet spring yummy quilt.
ReplyDeleteAt least you found your oopsie before the quilt was all put together - that would have been frustrating! It's a very cheerful quilt and will add a touch of colour when it's cold and snowy.
ReplyDeleteThat's going to be very pretty!
ReplyDeleteEaster and spring, that's what I thought as soon as I saw your photo. Lucky you had time to fix the rogue blocks in time. I do that sometimes.
ReplyDeleteThe colours made me think of Neapolitan icecream and then of sugared almonds. Yummy.
ReplyDeleteLove the colors....and well...I think most of us has an oopseee or two every once in a while!
ReplyDeleteI see that you have been busy during the olympics and wondered if it helped watching the Oscars last night with the withdrawal!! Your quilts are just beautiful I think kitty just misses your lap she probably got used to the Olympic quilting you were doing
ReplyDeleteThat's what I love about piecing quilts, anything goes! I actually like the variety it gives and the colors do give me spring fever, lol!
ReplyDeleteLove the colors!! Don't you just hate it when you turn something the wrong way. Instead of me lining up my tisket a tasket basket quilt like a calendar (since each month was represented) I lined them up and down which made the across go January, May,Sept. Boy, was I not watching and I didn't catch it until I had started the quilting....duh....
ReplyDeletei love your color combo - take a deep breath and have some chocolate. It will be a great quilt
ReplyDeleteI've made some mistakes in block placement in my quilts, and often opted to leave them as is. It adds interest to the quilt. Kind of like hunting for an Easter egg.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely says spring! Perfect for this time of year!
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty cheerful colors...sorry about the oopsy moment, but I know you will have a fixed in a flash!
ReplyDeleteI just love your blog....so happy and fun. I added you to my blog roll! Would you like to exchange? Linda
