Wow, it feels like it’s been a long time since I’ve had time to sit down and write a post! I have a good excuse, though. Over the last month I’ve been putting the final touches on my dissertation, which has taken pretty much all of my time, but means that I’m almost done with graduate school!
I’m really excited to have time to get back to my sewing machine now, and I recently finished my summer citrus patchwork quilt. I made this quilt using my fat quarter friendly framed patchwork quilt top tutorial. This quilt was so fun to make, and working with such bright colors was exactly what I needed!
The back is a large scale simple patchwork, using a couple of solids and a couple of my favorite prints. There’s something about simple patchwork that I love so much! I can never get enough.
**Since our house is getting filled up with quilts, I decided that this one would head to my etsy shop, where it might find a new home to brighten up! You can find the listing here.
I LOVE this quilt! The colors, the layout– so pretty! I’ve wanted to make a citrus quilt for years, and I’ve been hoarding fabric for it for a while now. Yours the second citrus quilt I’ve seen since yesterday, so I think that must be some sort of divine message to cut into my fabrics. : )
Beautiful colors… very nice!
So beautiful, Natalie! I am really digging the citrus-y colors right now, too. Congrats on being almost done with school!
