Riley Citrus
Measures: 15" x 19.5"
Fabrics: The Orange and Yellow - Riley Blake
The Solids - Kona
Designed & Quilted by me on my home machine
Members of the MQG who particpated in the challenge were given a set of fat eighths of various Riley Blake fabrics, with the rules of being able to use only Riley Blake prints, any solids, and your item had to be quilted. I was smitten with the orange print, and loved how it looked with the yellow, and from that point it just sort of evolved to sticking with fresh, spring-like colors. Given how cold it's been here lately, no wonder I'm dreaming of spring! For the quilting, I went with ascending curves, which reminded me of a slice of citrus fruit. I'm so pleased with how it turned out! A huge thank you to Riley Blake and The Modern Quilt Guild for providing the fabric and the platform for this challenge.
I really love this! You did a great job with the F8's.
