March's birthday love's bright colors and low volume. Her fav brights are lime and orange. Those colors are not quite my forte so when i picked out the fabrics I was afraid that I wouldn't like how it turned out.
But it was cool. Bright and I love it.
I used this time to try out "new-to-me" FMQ. I had so much fun sewing on this and trying new things.

| I was trying to make the thread look like thread. lol |

| I had to make sure that she always remembers that it came from Tennessee! And I tried to write "handmade" in the blue. I'm so happy I did it in blue. lol |

| Yes, I did momentarily forget the year...in permanent ink. |
The back is this adorable quilter's newspaper...I think it is timeless treasures, but I can't say for sure.
I bound in a Sour Apple solid and I think it brings out more of the green in the mini.

So cute! I especially love how you quilted the thread. I love trying new designs, but my favorites are all over designs.
ReplyDeleteAdorable! I love this block, and have saved it to make one day... love the sour apple binding--it's just perfect. You did a great job on trying out FMQ, just jump in and DO it! And yours turned out super. Yep that is Timeless Treasures; I won a bag at our guild meeting just last night with that very print, plasticized, on it, and it's theirs. :-)
ReplyDeleteCharming. Your fabric selection is delightful. The blue mimics the computer screen so well! Personally I love the lab papers. Congratulations on free motion quilting. It turned out so nicely and looks like you had fun.
ReplyDeleteLove that you made this a mini1 I may need to make it for my sewing room.
ReplyDeleteYour version is so bright and pretty. I need to make this for myself as well. I love trying new designs and it depends on the project on what I will try. I have yet to find a place to try peppling since it is so time consuming but this size is perfect.
