Hello, Summer! and NTT

Happy Needle and Thread Thursday!  Though summer arrived in the south awhile ago, I couldn't resist naming my latest quilt, Hello, Summer!  The colors are just so fresh and happy, and the vibrant hues feel right at home with the temps in the upper 90's (as we have had recently).


Lately, I've been on a roll with making quilts of my own design and writing patterns, which is great, but it's nice to have a mental break once in awhile and make something that doesn't require so much math.  This Road to Tennessee quilt was a perfect choice.


I pieced some of my leftovers on the back, along with some orange marble fabric in just the right shade, and keeping with the mental break theme, I decided to quilt with a nice, relaxing stipple.


The Kona Artichoke binding frames this quilt nicely, without taking attention away from the pretty patterns in the RTT blocks.  This quilt measures 56" x 64" and it was just the recharge I needed during a hectic summer!

Before we get down to business, I owe you a giveaway winner!  Comment number 6, Lisa Marie, is the winner of the cute, patriotic fabrics, provided by Fort Worth Fabric Studio.  Congrats!


Now then, without further ado.  Check out some of the awesome projects from last week's party.  This quilt by Little Bunny Quilts is just beautiful!


 This colorful, fun quilt is by Cynthia at Quilting is More Fun Than Housework.


and lastly, this selvage pineapple quilt is by Laura at Slice of Pi Quilts.  So creative!


I can't wait to see what you're working on this week.  Let's link up!

1. You can link finished projects or WIP's , but just keep it about quilting and sewing!
2. Link to your specific post (not to your home page!) to make it easier for others.
3. Please remember to spread the word and post my button or a text link.  
4. Spread the comment love far and wide!
5. Following me is not a requirement to link, but is so very appreciated!

*If you're new to the party, here's a helpful tip for linking up- select "Auto Crop"  when selecting your thumbnail photo.  For some reason, trying to crop your own image results in the dreaded "white question mark box," and we definitely want to see your awesome work!  :)

  3. Well done! I'm right there with you - I finished a large quilt that took a good bit of brain power so I started sewing HST's with a few charm packs and will see where that takes me. It is nice to not have to think so much yet still be creating something fun!

  9. Oh, I love the colors in your quilt! So beautiful! Thank you for featuring my pineapple quilt! Have you considered doing your binding "backwards"? Meaning, do it so the stitching on the binding shows on the back instead of the front? It's just personal preference, but I stitch in the ditch on the front so the stitches are "hidden", but then they show on the binding on the back.
