It's made using 3-1/2" cut squares, a convenient size for cutting from fat quarters. This was a stash-busting project to use some prints left over from other projects as well as some scraps and some stash.
Since it's already so busy, I might as well use a bold stripe for the binding, which you can see here on the right. What's a little more bright color and pattern when there's already this riot going on?!!!
And yesterday I pieced a backing for it, also using up some stash. It's been fun to revisit some of these prints. That coral & aqua swirl was dated 2003 on the selvage. The bold stripe for the binding works fine with the backing, too.

Someone is going to just love that quilt.
ReplyDeleteThe backing is really fun and the binding stripe looks perfect. I hope you have fun working on this splash of color this week. :)
ReplyDeletelove the scrappiness of it and the back!! Well done!
ReplyDeleteAll that busy pink is speaking my language. I think my favorite print is the one with the turquoise peeking through. I just love those two colors together. This quilt will definitely brighten someone's day.

ReplyDeleteLove it! I'm currently working through my blue shelves cutting for the same quilt! I hope mine looks as good as yours!
ReplyDeleteWonderful top .... and back!!
ReplyDeleteBusy? Yes, but the best kind of busy because all of the plusses retain their identity.
ReplyDeleteI think the riot of color is lots of fun.
