This might be the most proud I've ever been of an FO. Hopefully, my partner will be proud to hang it on her wall. I used Tamiko's paper-piecing template to make three blocks. Fabrics used are from Half Moon Modern, Lizzy House's Hello Pilgrim (the blue stripe), Flea Market Fancy gray seeds, the ever-awesome elephants from Daiwabo, Pezzy Prints, and Anthology orange orbs. Using a text print (that I can't identify at the moment-anyone know the name of it?), I pieced together a top.
It's backed with another Flea Market Fancy print, and I quilted a fun pattern using orange Gutermann thread.
The quilting is my favorite part. It's bound in an orange solid (tangerine, I think!).
I'll be sending this, along with the pincushion organizer to my partner very soon.
ETA: Dan helped determine that the text print to be Tiny Type from Michele D'Amore's Word Play collection for Benartex. Thanks, Dan!
Your mini is absolutely gorgeous! The colors are striking together, I love the blocks, the layout and especially the quilting with orange thread:) It must be tempting to keep but I bet you'll get a really nice one too!
