so my "juicy" little baby quilt is finally finished!
yay.
:)
i've had so many works in progress - and wrapped up 3 different quilts this week...
lots of tv + binding time mixed in with other sewing projects for Fiskars upcoming sewing month (september!)...
i'm loving the way this one turned out...
it's a mix of scraps that i had - & the alexander henry lemons that inspired the whole theme.
the backing is all lemons with some of my FAVORITE flea market fancy print thrown in :)
the binding is some of amy butler's now out of print dots - i really need to super-stock up on these soon... mixed with a little bit of the flea market fancy gold sprouts. :)
...& for anyone who wants the dimensions: the blocks are all 6 inch square to start, and the sashing was done with 2.5 inch wide white strips.
:)
Absolutely, to.die.for.
LOVE this one, too, Susan! You always make me go "WOW!"
:)

Ok, again very beautful quilt! Question, how do you make your binding? Guess I was wondering how wide you cut your strip to work with, do you hand sew it? Whatever help you can share, I would love!! Thanks!!

I love the Alexander Henry Lemons fabric. I saw this at the fabric store the other week and am seriously contemplating making a dress out of this. (Well actually letting my sister make it for me, I'm terrible at sewing.)

Holy Cow! That is stunning!!! All the right fabrics really makes the difference! I just need to keep reminding myself that I don't need another hobby...

I think that this is the most fabulous quilt I have ever seen, it would be so amzing for a boy or girl, wow!! Did you make it for someone special or are you selling it, It would be so amazing to base a nursery around it!

for someone who has never quilted before but has a sewing machine, how hard would it be to make something like this?
