My latest quilt top finished, yay! When this comes back from the long-armer's and I finish binding, it will officially be my third completed quilt. I'm so pleased.

For the pattern, I decided to play with Missouri Star Quilt Co's strip tube piecing tutorial for a "Summer in the Park" quilt. My friend lives in California, her favorite colors are blue and green, and she's very involved in the state parks because of her Mom. This jelly roll from Tuesday Morning was just perfect for her!

The quilt ended up larger than I'd expected due to a slight miscalculation. I'd gone into this intending to make a lap quilt and came out with one just barely smaller than twin-sized and will fit nicely enough on her double bed. Not a bad thing at all! Definitely not something I'm willing to quilt myself, though. I'm so lucky that a wonderful long-armer lives on our island!

I learned a lot in piecing this top, a lot about bias edges, ironing, seams, and seam measurements. It's by no means perfect, but all of the points either match or come very close, for which I'm grateful. I think it turned out fun!

Very well done. Ilove the colors.

Very pretty!

Georgeous!

Good 4 you! love the fresh look!

Thank you for your kind words, everyone! I just dropped this quilt off at the long-armer's last night for a vine/leaf combination, as per the request of the recipient. It's going to look fantastic on the quilt because of all the different shapes and motion! Will definitely show off the finished product once it's returned and bound.

Such a pretty quilt! I love the soothing colors and what a great pattern!

So pretty. The colors are just refreshing!

Very nice...cheerful and bright.

I love Missouri Star quilting tutorials. I pegged that one long time ago to do as soon as I get some others on my list to do. Even have the fabric for it.

Lovely and summery! I made that pattern too: http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-111038-1.htm
It's fun...

Well done!!! Very refreshing and pretty colors:)

I made one of these in a small size and did the quilting almost as a Quilt as You Go, quilting each row then attaching. It was fast and quick!

Thanks for posting the link to that video!

Beautiful quilt - is this size made with only one jelly roll and the white strips?
