One unexpected surprise from our new earlier mornings since Ethan started kindergarten is that Ellie, who was once phasing naps out, definitely needs a midday rest. What does all this mean? I have found that I now have 1 to 2 hours of time during the day all to myself! And guess what I decided to do with that time? Quilt…shocking I know!
On Wednesday I had the creative itch during this new found time, and I sewed up the back for the Rocqua Rhythm quilt. I designed the back, and I just love it! It’s kind of a large modified log cabin. When I originally bought fabric for the back my intention was to just use the turquoise and the white with pink flowers. After I finished the top and laid out the backing fabric, I felt the back needed some more punch and pizazz. So, I played around with the leftover fabrics from the quilt top and the turquoise and white with pink flowers until I found an arrangement I liked. I really do love how it turned out…in fact, I like the back as much as the front!
The binding is going to be the apples from the quilt top.
I LOVE the back & the front! I saw that quilt in the magazine & considered making that one some day. I absolutely love your fabric selections for it! It’s beautiful!
Thanks Jen! 🙂 This quilt top was unbelievable fast to piece…I totally recommend the pattern!
Good day! I know this is kinda off topic however , I’d figured I’d
ask. Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest writing a blog article
or vice-versa? My blog covers a lot of the same topics
as yours and I feel we could greatly benefit from each
other. If you’re interested feel free to shoot me an email.
I look forward to hearing from you! Terrific blog by the way!
