I have been a busy sewing bee lately. Last week I completed 2 tops. I think this summer I have created more tops and finished off more quilts then I even realized.
So Megan is one of my best friends and 2+ weeks ago she married the man of her dreams, Justin. Megan and I met in college and for as long as I have know her, her favorite color has been green. She even has a green graphing calculator! So I knew that green would be the main color of her quilt Justin's favorite colors are black and gray. I can totally work with that, too.
Because things at my house have been so hectic and crazy lately I was not totally sure I would be making it to the wedding, but as it grew closer I knew I had to be there, quilt in hand. SO off I went to my stash to find the perfect fabrics for the quilt. I pulled 6 greens with different textures and polka-dots. I then pulled 3 grays with black and white in them from the coma line by Moda (perfect since she is a teacher!).
I created this mixed up all over pattern just for their quilt and I think I need to write it out because it was so quick and so easy and I put it together, quilting and all, in just 3 days! I was even spray basting it at 11:30 pm on my deck!
I did straight line quilting on the quilt, kinda following some of the seams on on the quilt. The binding is Quilters Linen by Robert Kaufman, I love the non-solid solid look of it. The backing is of of my favorite go to leaf prints, it just worked perfectly with the green on the front and the gray binding.
In the end it measures 54" x 54". I used Pellon 100% cotton Natures Touch batting.
Megan and Justin said they were very happy with their quilt. I think that it will be perfect when they go to concerts and the sit on the grass or for snuggling on the couch. :)
Happy wedding to Megan and Justin!
