It's Friday, and we all know what that means - it's time to get our whoop whoop on!! Are you ready? I am! But if you're not quite ready yet, remember the party stays open until Sunday midnight - so get in a little weekend sewing and join in the fun!
*&*&*&*&*&*&*
I actually had a finish this week!!
I made this quilt from Vanessa Christenson's pattern Baby Ombre in her book Blue...
It's hard to see, but the background fabrics are from the Modern Background Paper line - three different prints of the pale gray on white.
The circles are a navy ombre print from my mother-in-law's stash (now in my stash) and vary from light gray to navy blue. And the quilting is an organic wavy line horizontally, which gives it great texture!
You can just see the backing in this picture - I cut it out of this sheet set from Target...
which I found on sale last week and couldn't resist! Those little bunnies are just adorable - and they'll be showing up on a lot of quilts in the future, because it was a king-size sheet set!
Because all the fabrics in this quilt came from my stash, it's my first fulfillment for the Sew My Stash 2016 challenge hosted by Leasa over at ProjectLeasa.com.
This quilt is destined for a little boy's bedroom when he finally arrives in March - I can hardly wait to see his mom's face when she sees it!
Can I get a whoop whoop??
*&*&*&*&*&*&*
And now it's your turn!
What's made you whoop it up this week?
What's got you dancing a little happy dance?
Share - we want to dance right along with you -
And it's always more fun to dance with friends!
The party will stay open until Sunday midnight -
Hope to see you there!
Hugs!

I really like that quilt, the new baby will too. Isn't it a great feeling to create a quilt from fabric already on hand? Blessings, Gretchen

ReplyDeleteGorgeous quilt! And I am doing a whoop whoop dance in the moonlight with you!
ReplyDeleteI love that quilt! The colors you used are wonderful, but it would be good with any.
ReplyDeleteModern & cute. Now that is a winner!!!

Simply wonderful. The quilting is perfect.
ReplyDeleteFantastic little boy quilt, and those can be hard to find just the right design/fabric.
ReplyDeleteLove everything about it! I have a little of the modern background paper and wish I had more. You scored with the bunnies, they are adorable!
ReplyDeleteWhoop Whoop! Beautiful finish.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful quilt for a little boy. The backing is sweet and fun and the ombré fade of the circles on the front is very grown up and yet playful at the same time.
ReplyDeleteWhoop, Whoop! You get a ROUND of applause too! That's a cutie.
ReplyDeleteI have watched this one grow on FB - LOVE it!! I'm playing with the background line, too - and love it. This would look so cute in any colour shading.
ReplyDeleteLove your circles. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt!! LOVE the idea for the backing!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt! Love the backing. No finish here this week but I'll keep plugging along.
ReplyDeleteLove that design and the backing. Great job!!
ReplyDeleteOh Sarah, this is just lovely! Great idea for a backing too! One lucky little boy...
ReplyDeleteWhat a great quilt. And the back is so fun.
ReplyDeleteMy links #48 and #49 are not showing pictures. They are to the same quilt. When I linked #50 the picture did show up. Feel free to delete the first two links if it's not too much trouble. Thanks for the link-up!
ReplyDeleteCute quilt!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun quilt! I love the backing fabric. I've thought of using flannel quilts before but hesitate because I've had flannel sheets get bally before. How can you tell whether they will or not? (Or maybe they just all do and we learn to live with it?)
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting the link-up.

That is a really striking quilt! And the backing, oh my, just perfect. Yep, I'm SURE that mom is going to be thrilled!
ReplyDeleteCool idea for a baby quilt. So modern! Congrats on the finish.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking quilt. I know that little boy will feel loved when sleeping underneath. Love the circles.
ReplyDeleteOh those bunnies are so cute. Was it hard to quilt on? I have an old sheet set with beautiful flowers on it... haven't used it yet and not really sure that I am going to... but it hangs around the studio.
ReplyDeleteExtremely cute! Front and back!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a great pattern - one I've never seen before. Fluffy bunnies on the back certainly finish it off nicely.
ReplyDeleteYou are one of the MOST productive women/quilters I know! WHOOP WHOOP for another fabulous finish and the score on the sheets!
