Can I get a Whoop-Whoop?? Fun and Bright....

Hi, all!

Well, it's Friday again - the first one of 2012!  I'm excited to see what everyone's been working on - whether it's cleaning up your sewing space, finishing up old UFOs, or starting some new-FOs!  

The quilt I want to share is one I made as a commission for a friend's daughter.  The mom and daughter chose the fabrics for a sudoku quilt - then mom decided she wanted the quilt to be twin sized.  After much figuring on graph paper, I came up with a way to make the sudoku pattern work in a twin size.....

With the addition of extra borders, and a piano key border, I got it up to twin size.  The piano key border was fun - I took all the leftover fabrics from the sudoku blocks, cut them into 2" strips, sewed them together in one long strip, and basically did a 1600 quilt top with them - then cut it into the strips for the piano key borders.  It was a fast and easy way to create the look, and use up all the scraps!

I love the quilting, too - I was debating what color to use, black or white - then the mom suggested lime green - brilliant!  It looks so nice on all the fabrics....

And I used the last few pieces of the 1600 quilt top to enhance the pieced back.  I love using up scraps!!


So that's my whoop whoop for the week (although I finished it before Christmas!)  Now it's your turn - what have you been working on this week?  Link up and share - you've got until Saturday night to join in!  Be sure and check out your fellow linkers, too - it's a great way to get inspiration!!


Hugs!
