See all that intricate "piecing"--those are just 8" squares sewn together. Fabulous, right?
I was able to quickly piece the whole quilt top together. I even had the back nearly completed. And then some time passed before I finally had it ready to be quilted. Nikki graciously agreed to do the quilting. And wow, did she do a spectacular job!
Here is the front.
When it came time to bind, I couldn't find the fabric I had set aside specifically for the binding. So I pieced together the trimmings left over when I squared it up in preparation for binding and just sewed them together.Of course, as soon as the binding was on, I found the set-side fabric, but I really like the pieced binding better.
I really love this quilt. Thanks, Nikki, for letting me test the pattern, but especially for being patient while it took me forever to show it off!
Of course, I had to do a "waterlogue" app version too. Isn't it pretty?
I'm linking up Crazy Mom Quilts at Finish It Friday and Lorna who is hosting TGIFF. Have a lovely weekend.

This is a great quilt. I love improv piecing.
Wow, what a stunning quilt! I love it. It must have been destiny for you to come up with a new idea for the binding since you like this better than the original fabric.
Very very cool! Fun fabric choice for this....
Oh, Cindy, this is so fun! I love it! What a great quilt design for the fabric line. Great choice!
It looks great, and truly does show off the fabric.
That is one incredible quilt!!! So fantastic!!!
This looks amazing! And it's really super fun with your fabric choices. I will definitely be checking out the pattern.
That is gorgeous and the quilting is terrific with it.
The quilt is just beautiful!
That's amazing!
Aww, thank you for the love, Cindy!! :)
Love this quilt. So much detail and brilliant color. Just gorgeous.
That is looking really cool! Well done!
Look at you! How fun is that fabric. You did her proud and the quilting is wonderful!
Awesome!! I love the design and the quilting is beautiful! :D
Gosh, this is such a pretty quilt. Improv blocks joined together, hmm? Well, it's a very effective design, and the quilting is smashing. (Drool.) I hope you find a special place to display/use this. It's too pretty to be folded up and put on a shelf.
Wow, it's truly lovely. I can see you have certainly put a lot of time into it. It's very unique too....one of a kind....you should be super proud of this one!
Such a great pattern! Love the print you chose for the blocks and the solids sure make a complimentary frame. The quilting is gorgeous. I love the scrappy binding, Cindy!
Awesome! And I especially love it because Cynthia is a local designer who designed our VMQG logo and Niki is a lovely quilty friend too. Serendipity!
Quilte print fabric, genius!
