I made this quilt last winter in anticipation of spring. It is from Applique Outside the Lines by Piece O' Cake. I love all of their quilts and as soon as I saw this one I just had to make it. I love how it graduates from the light colored backgrounds to the darker blue backgrounds....it is exactly like the book.
Here is a close up of the quilting which is just outline quilting around each leaf. I started to quilt the individual leaves (2) and decided it would take forever and quit.
This was a lot of fun to make and so easy. I think it is a good first applique project.

That quilt is the reason I bought that book! I still haven;t made it-- but your version is so inspiring! It looks great- love your fabrics!
ReplyDeleteWhat cheery quilt - love it!
ReplyDeleteKelly,
ReplyDeleteDid I see this one in the Quilt Block? It is gorgeous!
Love all those blues!
What a beautiful quilt!! I love all your fabric choices, especially the dots. And the red stems, it's all so artistic. And very springy :)
ReplyDeleteI agree, great project! I love the blues but really love how the scrappy orange borders pieces really bring out the branches too. Really, really nice!
ReplyDeleteThis is indeed a great quilt. I love Piece O Cake designs and this one is a fav. I love the fabrics that you choose.
ReplyDeleteI bought the book because I love this quilt. Yours is fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt and I always wanted to make it, that hasn't happened-yet. Yours is gorgeous and the quilting is perfect for it.
