Here is my entry for the
Jaybird Quilts Sew Along hosted by Sara - Sew Sweetness. I used Amy Butler Lark fabrics (printed) and RJR fabrics (blue solid) and Kona cotton (green solid) which were all from my stash (score!). I used a portion of the Raspberry Dessert pattern from Skip the Borders. I really love that pattern but I was really unsure how it would translate to prints since Julie used all solids in her sample for the book.

I kept the quilting simple since I used Kona grey on the back, I wanted the diamonds to pop. I also used hand sewn hexagons also from my stash from YEARS ago I was waiting for the perfect project to feature them in. It was a no brainer to use them on this mini. Some of those fabrics are from Soul Blossoms and some kona solids.
I have to tell you I finally used my binding ruler I got from The Fat Quarter Shop a few months ago, and it made doing the binding a breeze! Check out owner
Kimberly's awesome video to see how it works. I always learn such great tips in her videos! I highly recommend this if you make quilts, it takes the guesswork and frustration out of making your binding line up!!
thanks for stopping by!
