Just Finished Top Today
 
2 Attachment(s)
Here, for your viewing enjoyment, is the top I finished this afternoon for a quilt I'm donating to a silent auction for the CISM group I belong to. The first one is as it was earlier, before I had chosen borders for it, the second, obviously, with the borders. Please ignore the jerry-rigged wall, I still haven't done anything more permanent. I made it with the 10-minute blocks, but cut my own and didn't use a Layer Cake. I found the fabrics at Hancock; some were in a pack of FQs and some FQs I found to go with the pack. The whole thing measures about 40x52. I had fun putting it together, but getting the blocks in the proper order was a challenge! I'm planning to just SID because I don't have the time to send it off and don't want it to get too expensive. I'm thinking of using a solid watermelon color for the backing. If anyone can think of a name for it, please let me know. Hope you like it. :)

As someone said previously "The Bubblegum Factory" is a good name. I love the green and then orange borders you added. Perfect.

What size squares did you start with? The borders really pull it together nicely, very pretty.

Love it. It reminds me on JellyBeans.

I started with 6.75" squares for a 12.25" finished block. :-)

How about "Spring is Popping"....it just looks like all those wonderful bright colors that seem to jump out when springtime arrives. It's a very cheerful quilt, too. I like it.
