I splurged when this fabric line came out and bought the whole line. I've used quite a bit in other projects, but I wanted this quilt to be made with just this collection. I loved how it looked with white, so this design was born.
I wanted to try sashing without using long strips, so each block is outlined on two sides, then I layed it out and figured out which blocks needed three sides, or four sides outlined. This was slightly annoying, since I don't have a design wall, and had to use the living room floor. But, I love the finished product. It's sunny. I didn't realize how much yellow is in the collection until you see the whole thing spread out.
Quilt stats:
4-1/2" finished squares, all Lou Lou Thi fabrics.
1" finshed width Kona Snow sashing
Backing - a lot of random fabrics
Binding - scrappy, Lou Lou Thi - I picked the smaller prints for this.
Size: Huge. The picture above is on a king sized bed. There are two rows hanging off the bottom and sides, with about a foot left uncovered at the head.
Quilting: Straight lines along the short side of the quilt, about a 1/4 in on the inside of the sashing.
