A Finished Trip

Happiness is a quilt finish on a Wednesday morning. 

:)

Following in the madness that was the #scrappytripalong I made this quilt for my 6 year old daughter.  She has grown out of her baby quilt so this will be her big kid quilt.

With the fabrics that I originally pulled I needed to add a bunch more from my stash to add depth and contrast.  The purple was an after thought, but I love it!  Totally makes the quilt in my opinion, especially the darker pieces. 

Can you see the dragonfly in the quilting? 

My quilter, Lynn, did a beautiful job. She also quilted my daughter's name and a bunch of flowers into the quilt.  You can imagine that my 6 year old loves all of it!

For the back I was trying to use up some stash.  I had two princess prints from Alexander Henry's Once Upon a Time line that my daughter was in love with.  I paired them with an orange polka dot from JoAnn's and a piece by Jennifer Paganelli for Free Spirit.  I'm sure I got the Free Spirit piece on a clearance at my LQS.  I've had it for a long while.

I just kind of color-blocked them together.

The binding is also a JoAnn's piece I had in my stash.  Again, it was not part of the original plan, but came about after the quilt was done.  I like that it highlights some of the fabrics in the quilt rather than blending in.

 It feels good to have a quilty finish!  It's been awhile for me...

I love this quilt, my daughter loves this quilt.  Win-Win!

Happy Wednesday!
