In the case of this quilt, I vividly remember ordering a charm pack of Kona Snow and a charm pack of this Elea Lutz fabric because we were in the process of moving to our North Carolina house, and we had packed up much of my sewing space. I was left with a small cutting mat and a small desk surface, so I was buying precuts so I could continue making, without needing a large cutting space.
I also remember we had just added our puppy Liberty to the family, and every time I laid out my blocks, our playful chocolate lab puppy would run across the floor of my room and rearrange them all. Repeat times a hundred.
I'm sharing that to say that this is why I gave up on the quilt years ago. My puppy had twisted a couple blocks out of the arrangement I had carefully decided upon, and I didn't catch the jumble until it was all sewn together. So I got grumbly, folded it up, and tucked it away.
Fast forward 4 and a half years to a couple days ago. I was scanning those instagram memories and saw a post from July 22, 2016, where I had photographed a partially completed quilt top and vowed to finish it. 3 year ago. So I dug through my craft bins and found it! Eureka!
I stared and stared at this quilt top that had been given a very long time out and couldn't figure out what felt off to me so long ago.
So I attached a border of Kona Snow to make the quilt a bit bigger and VOILA.
And, as it turns out, I really love it.
You can find this quilt in my shop HERE.
There is something about the bright and cheerful, sort of vintagey feel of this fabric that I love.
I love a good quilt smoosh picture! I also LOVE the fabric I used for the binding.
I am so glad I completed it!
