Recent Top Finished
 

I normally don't post pictures of my quilts unless they are completely finished, but the sewing machine that I do my quilting on has been in the repair shop for an extended period. I have a few tops starting to stack up and figured I may as well show them anyway. This one might be good for a juvenile. If I could do it over again, might choose something other than the blue for the background, but I had it in my stash.

I love it! I guess I'm just a juvenile (at heart!) :)

I think it looks good. The blue brings out the blue in the striped fabric

I do like it the entire color scheme is great and the colors pop! Beautiful quilt top can't wait to see it finished.

Great job on the quilt. I love all the color in it.

It’s bright and cheerful with the blue background. Beautifully done!

I like the blue too.....can't imagine another color that would have been better. Good job!

I really like that!

This is very nice, I like the strips you used and the way you used them.

Love it... so fun and colorful.

Oh I love your quilt! Love how you used the stripe fabric for sashing strips. It is so bright, colorful beautiful. Love it!brings sunshine to my gray day

I think the blue and the striped fabric really make the quilt.

Beautiful and colorful, great job.

i love your striped fabric!

I really like that blue fabric, and the striped fabric is perfect. A young person will definitely love this one. It's really cheerful. Can't wait to see it quilted.

A very cheerful quilt - and I believe it can be enjoyed at any age :)

I really like that with the blue.

Very cheerful - love the colors

Love it as it is.............cute for any age.

I really like it. I myself would have never thought to put the stripes with the circles, but the way you did it, it looks really cool. Excellent finish.

Very nice.

Thanks for the kind words. I had a yard of that fabric with the circles on it, and I decided I would buy 1/3 of a yard of solids to match some of the colors. Ended up buying Red, Orange, Yellow and light blue. Then I found that striped fabric at Goodwill and it matched exactly! I have been wanting to use striped fabric in a more creative way so that was my mindset here. I had some green fabric that I was originally going to use as the background, but not enough; that's why I ended up using the blue. Once I got sewing the blocks together I decided the light blue solid might not contrast enough with the blue background so I ended up finding enough of the green solid in my stash. It actually wasn't a solid, but had a small print of the front. I just used the back. You know the saying " you pay for both sides of the fabric". All in all the colors have a 70 feel. Like avocado green and harvest gold haha! Lots of my quilts come together this way; they start with a couple pieces from my stash. I am focused on trying to use it first. Sometimes I have to buy accent or background fabric, then also try to match with a pattern that will work with the limited fabric that I have. Most of my fabric is older...considerably older and so there is no getting more of a particular print. Sorry to ramble on, but I have the time to do so with "normal" life not so normal right now. More time for quilting so I am not complaining.

Love the blue because it makes the blocks pop
