NTT- Mustard Misadventure

Welcome to Needle and Thread Thursday, y'all.  I have spent an inordinately long time on this little quilt, and frankly, I'm happy to add it to the finished list.

This quilt only measures 38" x 40", but it really felt like a chore to get it to a place where I didn't hate it.  I ended up cutting up my blue/aqua/teal scraps and shuffling them again, and then I liked the look much better, but it needed something else to give it some pop.  I auditioned several solids in my stash and decided to use this rich yellow-orangey Kona Papaya.  I really like the contrast it offers.  These strips are just under a 1/2" (finished), and when it all came together I thought it looked like a mustard bottle had been shaken up with the cap being open, so Mustard Misadventure it is!

I went straight into my stash for a backing, and found this tonal aqua chevron print, and used up the last little bit of my Papaya on the binding.  Though this is still not one of my very favorite quilts, it is growing on me, and I think it will make a cute little baby quilt to donate to our local children's hospital.

Aside from this project, I have also been working on something that I can't share just yet; and of course, cheering on team USA!  

Last week, there were tons of amazing projects linked up, like this quilt by Linda at Flourishing Palms-

And this patriotic quilt by Institches with Bonnie-

Or how about this beauty by Marga's Crafts-

And finally, look at this gorgeous quilt by Sandra at mmm quilts-

Y'all are amazing!  So, without further ado, let's get to the party.

*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!  :)
