A Tumble in the Woods ~ A Finished Quilt


The last quilt for 2011!  
A Tumble in the Woods (thank you for naming my quilt Aneela!)


All of Aneela's fabric collections for Moda have been such a pleasure to work with, and combining all three fabric collections ~ Sherbet Pips, Little Apples and A Walk in the Woods ~  was effortless and went without a hiccup.


For the quilt back I have used one of my favorite prints from the Sherbet Pips collection ~ Scooters in Vanilla Ice.  The images (above and below) clearly show the quilting grid created by outlining the seam lines, some multiple times.


Zig-zagging along all of the vertical seam lines was more work than envisioned, but contributes to the finished look of the quilt, and compliments the patchwork tumbler blocks.  I wouldn't hesitate doing so again.


For the binding fabric I have used a black and white stripe fabric ~ Michael Miller - Clown Stripe, although this one is a little wider than my standard black/white pin stripe fabric.  Love it!


I have updated my Etsy Store and you can find the listing for this quilt here:

And that concludes my sewing journey for 2011.  I am looking forward to spending the next week or so unwinding with family and friends.  Of course I will be stopping by here ...  (who knows, I may even sew a little something), and have some rather fun things scheduled here for all of my readers to celebrate Christmas/Holidays, and to welcome the New Year!  

You won't want to miss out ..
