Puddle Quilt

So after I finished Cindy's quilt I decided I loved the pattern so much that I decided I just had to make another with solids.  I don't do much with solids, but I figured I would give it a try.  I cam up with this top.

Solid blues and purples, I am calling it puddle quilt.  I had picked out a back already but when I went to lay it out I had wet hands and the blue came off on my hands!  I was not a happy camper.  I washed it in synthrapol, but the color faded so much that I didn't like it anymore.  I guess that is why it was on sale for $2 a yard.  I went to my LQS and found an even better backing so I need to get it sandwiched so I can quilt it up.

I also recently won a giveaway at Ellison Lane Quilts.  I won a great jelly roll of Vintage Modern.

I am in love with the colors of this fabric.  I can't wait to break into it to make something for myself :)

For now I am working on some hand stitching.  Making up some more hexies and doing a fun pillow I will post up about later this coming week.  

Hope everyone has a fun weekend!
