I finished the binding on this quilt last night and immediately threw it in the wash to let it get nice and soft and crinkly (to be honest, I also wanted a toasty, fresh out of the dryer quilt to lay under while watching Thursday night tv!)
I love the modern, simple look of this one. It uses tons of white, with little strips of colored fabrics. I used up more scraps to make this one, so the size of the strips varied based on what size scraps I had available. I wanted randomly placed strips of color, and I think it turned out just as I had imagined it.
For the back, I pieced together one long strip of scraps, and placed it vertically off-center.
It’s bound with polka dotted fabric (of course!). I like this darker purple Anna Maria Horner fabric with raspberry colored dots.I love a dark binding, especially on a quilt with a lot of white.
This quilt is the largest I’ve made (the largest I’ve actually finished, that is!), measuring about 55″ x 70″.

I really like all of these projects you’ve done with the white and little bits of scraps. The scraps look so great with the white. So simple yet not boring.
So simple, yet so beautiful!
Looks fab! I hope tv last night was even better with it
That is really beautiful. I saw it on flickr and came over to see more. Congrats on finishing it!
So glad you didn’t use the pic with me enjoying that just-from-the-dryer feel…
Looks lovely in these pictures!
I really love this quilt. I need to dig into my scraps and make one.
So so simple and beautiful! Love it!!
This quilt is beautiful. The perfect balance of color. I would love to make one like it.
i love the off center stripe on the back. and I’m with you, I love a dark binding on a white quilt. (or on almost any quilt, for that matter.)
This is absolutely beautiful! Love the pop of color…
I love your quilt and I’m happy to report that you won my giveaway!

I absolutely love it!!!
I just love this! I’m so glad I came across your blog – another to add to my ever increasing list!
I love the designs of your quilts. They are so graphic and fun. Definitely not “Grandma’s Quilts”. You’re inspiring me to give quilting a try myself. If only I can get over my fear of breaking needles and wads of thread that get hung up on everything I try to make. How do I stop that from happening anyway??
Love your designs!
It looks so snuggly and warm. Great job.
oh, wow–I LOVE this. What a great concept.
mmm… yummy…
Hi… I’m loving this quilt, its inspired me to do something similar… question though, what are you using for the white? I am struggling to find some nice white here – thought I’d get some off the web but don’t know what brand is good? any suggestions? thanks, angela
