Playing with Pips

These fabrics are adorable. I had to have a charm pack....but hadn't a clue what I was going to do with it.

Saw a quilt in the new Keepsake Quilting catalogue that I had to figure out. It is called "Motion Comotion". What interested me was the appearance of curved edges that are a different color than then fabrics they lie next to.

I quilted it today. I used two blocks from Anne Bright's Luna collection. I used pale grey thread on the pale sections and raspberry variegated on the dark sections. I like it!

The quilting shows up particularly well on the back, which is turquoise, not green.

I can't say as yet if I would do it again....but I do like the results.

My Latest Creations for STUD

Three cheers for the postal service.....they so often get a bad rap. We need to praise them when they do well. The packages I mailed on Friday arrived at their destinations Monday.
STUD for July/August 2011 I signed up for both swaps and received two awesome partners.
"Anything Goes" - for this swap I created "Frog Legs" for PecksPieces. The mini started out as a trial balloon for my DSQ11 partner.

I was down to deciding what the borders needed to be. I was debating between a deep red and a dark green skinny border followed by a wider, fussy cut floral border.
