I finished a custom order quilt top today! The client saw the pink version I made a while back
She wanted one with the aqua/brown colors of Mendocino and wanted it a bit larger (to fit a full-size bed). I have to admit it was a little hard to cut into my stash of aqua Mendocino. I know I'll never see more of it!
I used Essex linen/cotton blend in Natural for my sashing this time because the client wanted to stay away from white. I love the beachy feel of this! I may suck it up and drive back down to the beach for a final photoshoot when this is done!
Now I have the unexciting task of piecing a back together. This may be my least favorite part of quilting! I'd rather iron than piece a backing!

Very lovely! This quilt will be a family heirloom for that lucky customer.
I'm about to piece together a back too and am just dreading it. Ugghhh.
Oh so pretty, Kelly!
Really nice Kelly! I must say it would have been hard for me to cut into all the mendicino too :-)
Love that! Can't wait to see it finished!
