Postage Stamp Quilt ~ Finished!
This postage stamp quilt was fun from beginning to end! Rachel over at p.s. i quilt hosted a quilt-along at the beginning of this year and I jumped at the chance to break open my very first jelly roll and use up some white yardage that was taking up space. I never imagined that it would turn out so well! I had the chance to long arm it just last week, and just yesterday finished binding it. I'm nuts about this quilt! What do you think of it?
The fabric I used is called Sent with Love by Deb Strain for Moda...so happy and girly!
I had enough postage stamp squares left to piece a strip for the back, and threw in some of the binding fabric too.
How do you like those quilted swirlies? It's a new thing I tried on the long arm which I love love love and I'll share the secret next time. For now, I'll let you think I'm just an awesome long arm quilter! Tee hee :)
Looks like a great place for a picnic. Care to join me?
I love a pieced back, especially with such fun fabric!
Oh my but I love those fabrics!
And last but certainly not least, my favorite rolled-up-and-perched-on-the-rail shot...a great way to show off the binding! I love a striped fabric made into bias binding!
So that's my latest finish. A big thank you to Rachel for taking the time to share her excellent tutorials for this quilt-along!
Seems I've been finishing lots of projects these days, which is such a good feeling. With school ending soon for my little ones and our summer plans already filling up the calendar pages, I am not sure just how many projects I'll get done in the next few months, but I've already started some summer crocheting (small cotton things for my Etsy shop) and I have a few things I want to accomplish down in my sewing room where it is cool and usually dry during the hot summer months.
I hope you have a wonderful summer, or winter depending on where you are, filled with gorgeous fabrics and yarns and lots of great ideas!
Happy Stitching!

Summer? Surely you jest! The temp hasn't broken 75 here in SoCal.
I love, love, love the colors on the quilt. I keep thinking of strawberries when I see those colors. Who is the quilt for? (me, I hope. yeah, right) Your quilting is really nice, love the swirlies.

I LOVE that quilt! The colors are so cute - and the binding and everything is so perfect. And I love the swirlies. If I told you I Really Want It, and even added an extra really or two... like, I Really Really Really want it.... would that work?

What a pretty quilt!
And thanks Mary Grace for stopping by my blog and mentioning your tutorial for making bias binding. I've seen other tutorials on how to do that, but yours is the first one that I could actually make sense of. Once my sewing machine is back from the repair shop, I'll be giving that a try.
