A finish... Pinkness and Mint


  Name: Pinkness and Mint
Design: Mine, Wonky Stars, 8.5" blocks
Size: 40" by 48"
Fabric: Warp and Weft assorted pink fat quarters with a touch of mint
Quilted: by me with Aurifil 50 wt in white on either side of each blocks



I finished this one on the weekend.  I used a lovely bundle of fat quarters from Warp and Weft and so have another finished project for the Warp and Weft Sewing Society.  I decided to make the star blocks smaller than I usually do and have the stars be the negative space, allowing the prints to really be the focus.  It worked out just the way I hoped.  It seemed like a whole bunch of pink so I added just a touch of mint with a few other fat quarters also from Warp and Weft.  The stripe from the Petite Street line brought everything together.  Who would have thought? I quilted on either side of the blocks in Aurifil 50 wt in white and used a ribbon stripe print from my stash for the binding.  So there you have it.  A finish.  Linking up with Amanda Jean for Finish it Up Friday.

  2. simple and pretty! looks wonderful. Did the lines of the striped fabric not lining up drive you crazy/take a lot of extra planning? Or did you not worry about it too much? I think it looks great, but strikes me as something that took a bit of thought.
