This was my second Colorbrick quilt and it's just perfect for showing off those gorgeous fabrics.
I used pearl cotton no. 8 for the quilting, ecru for inside the blocks and alternating light pink, dark pink and orange for outside the blocks. I didn't use a hoop or frame or anything for quilting, I just basted the quilt really well and tried to keep it smoothed it out in my lap as I went along.
The stitches are not perfect but I like it that way.
So, this was my third finished project for August and I'm feeling good about the progress I made to meet my cleaning/finishing goals.
