TGIFF! Quilt Like An Egyptian

Welcome to this week's TGIFF!

Glad to have you here at Sew Fresh Quilts for the P-A-R-T-A-Y!

I am quite excited to announce the finish of my MQG Fabric Challenge today.  This challenge features four fat eighth cuts of Michael Millers newest collection - Petal Pinwheels.  I just LOVE those soft and colourful prints!  Yes, even enough to get the whole collection and make a larger version of this quilt in the very near future.  Along with those four Petal Pinwheels cuts, a fat eighth each of Cotton Couture in Coral and Star Jacks in Grey from the Atomic Tabbys collection, were also included.

I blogged here previously about my design process. And ended the post mentioning that the backing I had originally chosen was just not going to jive with the top.  And that I would  be making another visit to my LQS.  Well, I did just that and found the.perfect.print for the backing.  It is Michael Miller's Everyday Houndstooth in Lagoon.

Quilting with my walking foot, Aunt Elna and I outlined the chevrons and along the Coral pyramid.  Then continued quilting 1/4" and 1" parallel lines, using grey, orange and white Guetermann thread.

Quilt Like an Egyptian finished at approximately 39" x 40" and was completed using a machine finished binding in Clay from the Cotton Couture collection.
