A finish!
40 x 50
Last year someone with the Sunshine Online Quilt Guild (SOQG) offered up a box of 12 inch blocks. I waved my hand and yelled "pick me, pick me" and she did. Well, I am always short of quilt backings so I thought I would use the blocks to piece some quilt backings. Well, this top was in with the blocks.
It was so full of cute cheery fabrics.
I couldn't use it as a quilt backing.
Anyway, I finally pieced a backing and now have it all quilted with some spirals. I made a scrappy binding using several different multicolor scraps.
The backing is pieced-- a vintage-y hot air balloon fabric I picked up at the thrift store ages ago and the end of a little wilder fabric.
Now it is ready for donation.
And sew on...

Sweet! The hot air balloon fabric and all the bright cheery colors definitely do belong together! :)
I'm glad you chose not to use that quilt top as a backing. Some little kid is going to love that quilt.
That's a cheerful rainbow that will make someone's world a whole lot better!
So fun! I do love a scrappy binding :)
Wonderful cheery quilt--I can see why it had to become a quilt front;))
Nice work hugs, Julierose
