Finished: Sparkle Pink<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Yes, Sparkle Pink is finished. This quilt and Swoon are both large and have the same binding, so I thought I was binding Swoon. When I was finished, I opened it up and found Sparkle Pink! I am binding the Swoon now, so stay tuned.<\/p>\n

I am really pleased. It is a cheerful quilt and the pinks are happy. On the front, the orange is there but pink still dominates.<\/p>\n

It is a subtle quilt in that it is mostly monochromatic. It invites the viewer to come closer to see some parts that are more blendy. It doesn’t have the high contrast that quilts with dark on light fabrics do.<\/p>\n

Remember that this was a pattern from All Washed Up<\/a>, lent to me by Mallory. The pattern is called Sparkling Cider<\/a> and you can order it by calling them. I assume local quilt shops have it as well. Apparently, the company does not update their blog anymore and I don’t see a website that is functional.<\/p>\n

I said before that I liked this quilt because, though the blocks were large, they were not boring. I do think that the fabric has a lot to do with the outcome. Not just my fabric, but any version. I suppose that is true for all quilts.<\/p>\n

The orange shows up more prominently on the back, which is fun. Do you use orange with your pinks?<\/p>\n

How do you like that Philip Jacobs rose print. Isn’t it fabulous? If I can’t have loose covers from it for summer, then a quilt back is the next best thing.<\/p>\n

I just noticed that the fabrics don’t blend as much into each other on the back as they do on the front. The poppies show up really well and don’t seem to clash much with the roses.<\/p>\n

I am still loving these Joel Dewberry Notting Hill prints. They are bold, but happy and cheerful. Amanda had a zipper pouch made from the tulips in the canary colorway and it was all I could do not to take it home with me. Good thing I am, basically, honest. I have the fabric now and will ask her to help me make a pouch like hers.<\/p>\n

Look! I used dots in the quilt as well. No more hoarding of dots.<\/p>\n

This is a quilt that I made very fast. I remember making it, but there are very few mentions of it on the blog, aside from the 26 Projects list<\/a>. You can find the mentions here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
