Julie's quilt

Hi guys!  Aren't Fridays great?  I especially love the Friday quilting community, seeing everyone's finishes and making connections. <3

I've got a fun quilt to share with you today!  This is Julie's quilt...it's based on the tutorial by Christie at Lemon Squeezy Home.  I just expanded it to make it a twin-sized quilt.

We decided on Ethereal Fusion by Art Gallery Fabrics, and since I didn't think I could lay this one out on a whim...I broke out my EQ7 and planned it digitally.  It was a lot of fun!


I show you that, because, I don't know about you...but for me, seeing something go from paper into "being" is soooo satisfying.  So, here's the finished product.


I free-motion quilted swirls over the entire quilt, although I did consider doing some fancy custom quilting...the swirls just make everything extra special.



Finally, I chose a light pink solid for the binding.


*sigh*  I just love this one...I may need to make another for keeping.

Anywho, thanks for stopping by today!  Have a great one!
