April Showers Quilt Finish

I was hoping to have this be my last finish of 2014 but due to illness and a fun trip this became my first finish of 2015. Honestly, I wasn't in love with this fabric line when if first came out. I thought maybe I'd over done the whole Bonnie and Camille thing but then I saw someone else make an adorable quilt with it and I needed it. My indecision made it so it was all on a crazy good sale - hurray! This is #8 on my 2014Q4FAL list.

I used this tutorial as a guideline but I seriously don't recommend it. She is very vague about things like fabric requirements, the number of pieces to cut, and layout. Basically I thought, that looks cute and did all the rest of the work myself. My B.A. in English is making me compulsively site my source though.

I just adore the quilting on this one!! The idea just popped into my head while I was looking at my Aurifil thread box called Simplify made to match all things Bonnie and Camille. I used the aqua, green, navy, and red to made a crosshatch on point. I used a gray bobbin on all of them so the back is really subtle and just has a bunch of texture.

Here you can see my cute tag, again from my Sweetwater yardage. You can also see the texture on the back and my fun binding. I had about a half inch to spare after I cut my binding out, it was a close one.

Thanks for stopping by! I know I say it every time but I really appreciate you taking the time to come and read my posts. I also love comments but I'm not fabulous at responding. I do read and enjoy each one and hope to be better at that this year!
