Strawberry Lemonade quilt- Irish Chain
 

I finished this quilt a couple of weeks ago. There's over 50 pink prints. It was an attempt to use up my pink scraps. Barely made a dent in them. After cutting all the pink squares the plan was for a white background fabric. Normally I keep a bolt of white on hand because it's my go to background but all I had was buttery yellow. My life at the time was super busy, no time for shopping. So I took this as an opportunity to step outside my comfort zone. I still would have preferred the white background but I think it turned out kinda sweet. Thus the name..Strawberry Lemonade. It's one of my favorite summer drinks...with and without alcohol...LOL! Another step out of my comfort zone was the quilting. Mostly free motion with a little ruler work at the center of the yellow feather thingies. Amazing how quickly a quilt can be quilted with little or no ruler work.

I like the yellow and pink together and I like the quilting. The pink squares look like little circles from afar. It looks like you quilted circles in some of the pink squares. I like the way it looks.

Your quilt is beautiful!!!

Very nice quilt and quilting. I like the pale yellow and pink combo and Irish chain is a favorite of mine.

I thought so too!

I really like the yellow and I am not a 'yellow person'. It is a gorgeous quilt.

I love the yellow and I am not a 'yellow person'. It is a gorgeous quilt and no wonder you are thrilled with the way it came out.

Oh my goodness, it is SO pretty!!! The yellow and pink deserve the name Stawberry Lemonade. It made me one right now! Yum!
You have so many cute pink fabrics!

Pretty fabric choices. Beautifully quilted.

Love your quilt and your quilting... very nice

Another winner Lea! I love that you only did continuous curves in the diagonally linked squares of your Irish chain. The resulting circle outlining the alternate squares really does make the piecing look circular. Very clever!

And the yellow with the pink looks great.

the yellow looks great. i've seen gorgeous quilts done with red backgrounds and orange ones. makes the other colors pop.

your colors are great. i love your quilting. wish i was that good.

Oh now this is just perfect for spring!

i think it's perfect with the yellow/cream background

May I say it looks so refreshing! I like seeing unexpected color combinations and this is perfect. Great job.

Great quilt. Love the colors. Yes, I'm afraid I may have that many pinks. It's my next quilt.

Beautiful quilt and quilting. BrendaK

Pretty quilt! Love all the pinks, and the yellow for background is a nice change from white. Nicely done!

Beautiful work!

I love the piecing and colors and your quilting really tops it all off!

Very lovely and I really like your yellow background. Great work.

Love all the different pink fabrics, very pretty!

Love this so much! The pinks and yellow are perfect together. Beautiful.

i actually like the use of the yellow instead of the white. i don't think the quilting (which is very attractive btw) would stand out as much on white material.
Beautiful.
