My second quilt top finished

The blue and orange Clementine fat quarters came out of hinding and I've been working on the quilt top for my SIL. It's done. The pattern I followed was from Happy Hour and the pattern name is Between Friends. I wanted a bigger block with not so many pieces and parts so that I would get this done for her 30th birthday... which has passed. Her birthday was July 31st. Oh well. She'll get it when it's completely done.


The top.... it's okay. I'm not crazy about it. I LOVE the orange but there's one orange fabric that I absolutely HATED and tried to limit its use in the top. But you can only do so much when you need 17 FQs and you have 20 to chose from. But she should be crazy about it since orange is her favorite color and she herself picked the color scheme for the quilt. The top looks better in person. I took the picture last night so we had no natural light.

I'm hoping that once it's quilted, it would look better. I am getting it ready to send to Sharon for some quilty magic! It will be in the mail to her by Saturday. I have no idea for a quilted pattern. Sharon can do whatever she pleases.

Now it's time to think of a quilt top for myself. I think I'll start working more on my pinwheels with my Darla fabrics... or do I do the hedgerow block with my pink, orange, and yellow fabrics? Or start the bright batiks and black star one...??? OH THE CHOICES!

Enjoy your day!
