this past weekend i was in one of those moods where i couldn't just work on one project and i flitted between about 4 different projects! one of the projects was the saltwater mini quilt! when camille released her new patterns on friday i knew i just had to make the saltwater mini quilt, and i actually focused enough to finish it, yay!
i completely dithered over which fabric to use, in the end i didn't worry about my fabric matching each other and just picked fabrics that i thought were 'pretty' and they all sort-of worked well together, happy coincidence! for the sashing there was only one choice, my favourite colour (at the minute anyway) brown!! i think it ties it all together and give its a vintage-y feel
a little bit of loopy quilting and some pretty pink binding and it was done yay!! i will definetly be making a few more minis, they're just too cute.
and here it is added to the picture wall in my sewing room, doesn't it look pretty? especially with my ashleigh bickerstaff woodland painting!
