My oldest youngling was overdue for a custom quilt. I pinned several simple geometric examples and had my daughter choose from them. This was the winner.
I found the pattern in a magazine. It's Cutting Edge by Fresh Lemons Quilts. I just love paper piecing and was thrilled with the triangle layout.
I agonized over color selection here. I really wanted the red column to fade down to orange, and then the red orange to fade down to yellow orange; the yellow orange down to yellow green, etc. I love how it turned out.
I ordered this gorgeous bundle from Etsy and stuck a few HK prints in there from my stash. Then I decided it was just not enough Hello Kitty in there so I purchased this adorable gingham print for the back.
Coming straight off the Mario quilt, I was ready to go back to straight lines and the quilting went SO fast compared to Mario! I think I finished it in an hour or so. Then I used a print from my stash (Walmart I think) for the binding.
She loves it :) It's probably my favorite quilt of mine so far.
