It's always about this time of year that I wonder....
Will winter ever end?
Will winter ever end?
This is the Teenie Weenie Bikini quilt, which I first blogged about at the beginning of February here. I was already thinking of spring then. And in an effort to banish the snow and cold, I got this finished top out and was determined to quilt it up the first weekend of March break.
I used 20 pieces of my "Pie Making Day" stack of 10" squares with some solids from my Kona stash. Champagne, Putty, Ice Peach, Pink, Maize, Mocha, Coffee, and Brown were used for the flesh tones and Silver was chosen for the background.
It's more of my favourite wavy line quilting, performed using my walking foot using a grey thread on top and plain white Gutermann thread in the bobbin for the back.
The binding is a Sun Print print called Endpaper in Azure. I used it for one of the bikinis and this print was last used in the making of my Flowers quilt.
It feels good to have this quilt finished and ready for some summer fun. But it didn't make the snow go away.... But what a fantastic backdrop!
This "Teenie Weenie Bikini" quilt finished at 48" x 72"
and was the 25th use of my 2nd edition of 100 labels
ordered from Ikaprint.
This new pattern is called Teenie Weenie Bikini and you can find it listed here in my shop. This pattern is Layer Cake friendly. You can use a stack of 10" squares or two pieces @ 5" x 10" of any piece from your stash to make the bikinis.
