Once I'm done with the quilting I'd like to make something for Le Challenge. The theme for July is Toffee. I'll play with some leather scraps again.

WiP - Diamond Tread
As expected my sewing is slowing down. Last week I pieced all the blocks together and it took me a week to add the remaining strips to sides. I have the backing fabric and batting ready. I'll be using cotton batting (local supply) for the very first time. I'm making crib size 45"x 60". I like the straight line quilting in the original pattern so that's what I'll be doing. So far I really love the pattern (Diamond Tread) and the color combo. I'm looking forward to see all the other versions out there too.

I love your fabric choice!
ReplyDeleteI love that areoplane print, so cool! I also have been meaning to say I really like the new look of your blog :) I'm using wool batting for the first time, cotton has been my usual choice with a bamboo sometimes but I want to make some warmer quilts :)
ReplyDeleteVera, that top is so great. I bought the pattern a couple weeks ago and this is so inspiring!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! I love your color combo and the airplane print for the back is perfection. : ) I think this is the first finished top I've seen by anybody other than myself, which is always soooo exciting. Thanks for making my pattern!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! This will be such a nice crib quilt. I love the airplane fabric and the colours!
ReplyDeleteFantastic!! More inspiration... Bought the pattern, still haven't started... waiting for my daughter to decide on background and give me her bed measurements!! I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteYour crib quilt is amazing! i love the combo of blue and green!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you come up with for "toffee". Lots of fun!

I love the Diamond Tread pattern! I also love the colors that you chose! Beautiful work :)
ReplyDeleteBlack may not be a traditional background for flowers, but it looks great and wow, your colors really pop here! Awesome!
I am stopping by from the WIP hop, hop on by if you can http://domesticdeficitdisorder.blogspot.com/2013/07/wip-wednesday-july-3rd-edition.html
Your quilt top looks great!
ReplyDeleteI checked out that challenge and when I saw the Toffee theme, the only thing I could think of was toffee apple ... or toffee coloured leather - just like that piece you have :D I think I would follow the theme by eating toffee candy while I was sewing - I wonder if that would count? LOLOL!
I love how this turned out. Now I'm really turning over the idea of using mostly solids with one print when I get around to making a quilt from this pattern. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your quilt top! It looks beautiful! Fantastic fabric choices!
ReplyDeleteLook forward to seeing your Toffee project!
Oh, i love how this turned out!! The colours are perfect and that little bit of texty print, fabulous!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see this finished!
