I am so excited to have this one finished! It was on my design wall for a long time. The pattern is Sugar Pine from the book Fresh Family Traditions by Sherri McConnell. When I first browsed the book I didn't particularly notice this quilt. But the more I looked, the more I liked it. I like that about scrappy quilts.
This is the first quilt I've made that's large enough to lay at the end of our Queen Bed. I had sent it out to be quilted with some playful loops.
Points I pondered:
1. Speaking of points...using a 1/4 inch Quilting Foot did help with my accuracy. I know a lot of people don't like them, but it helped me. I love that most of the points were not cut off!
2. I enjoyed trying to use up the fabrics I already have. Some fabrics are favorites, others just the right color, and even some "novelty" fabrics. I had bought this Dick and Jane looking fabric a while ago because it reminded me of reading as a child. It's not typically my style, so it was fun to work them into this project!
3. I did get a little bored from doing so many quarter square triangles. I had to take a break for a while, so it was nice to have it up on the design wall while I worked on other projects.
