Oh Deer Quilt Top Finished! {Fabric Envy}

Photobucket
Here's a quick pic of my Oh Deer Quilt Top for my oldest daughter--she is going to love it! I agonized forever over what pattern I would use for this fabric. I wanted it to be something that would show of both the large scale prints and the smaller prints too. Finally I stumbled upon the "Sing the Blues" pattern at Riley Blake Fabrics and the best part is that it was free!  You can download the pattern on Riley Blake's website here. I used a layer cake and a little yardage for the borders. I had at least 10 complete layer cake squares left over plus enough scraps that I was able to do some piecing on the backing. I still have two layer cakes left in the shop if you're interested.   Now I'm sending it off to my great friend Jenny of Sew Kind of Wonderful to quilt it up for me. I can't wait to see the finished product. Now it's time to start on my son's quilt--one down two more to go!

  1. It's lovely and a good call on the pattern! I have a bundle that I've not been able to bring myself to cut into (much), either. :)

  3. It's fabulous, Andrea! I like the pattern. The colours are very bright and luminous. I'm sure your daughter was amazed by your result. You're a master of quilting. Hope you'll like my works at http://www.au.essay-writing-place.com/.
