I got this quilt "webbed" (see here for explanation) right before I packed up and moved to Charlevoix. It got shoved in a closet, and I didn't get back to it until a few weeks ago. Thankfully it wasn't a lot of work to get this top finished!
Next it will need quilting, and I think I will quilt this one myself on my home machine. I am thinking that I will just echo the seam lines with my walking foot. I have A LOT of tops that need to be sent to a long-arm quilter, so when I find one that I can do myself I get excited.
It was made with fabric from the first DS Quilts collection for JoAnn's. I normally don't like to quilt with fabric from JoAnn's, but I LOVE Denise Schmidt, and the greige good was a better quality so I went for it. Since this line came out DS Quilts has released quite a few collections, and they've all been beautiful.
This week I have been enjoying the *slightly* warmer temperatures (it's still under 70 degrees, ick), and I finally finished planting my flowers (photos to hopefully come soon). I don't have a lot of outdoor space, but some small planters really made a difference. I had some help from my mom this week rescuing the few flowers that I had planted too early (they suffered frost conditions a few times and looked horrible). Now it almost feels like Spring! haha.
I am still making headway on my "Neptune Swoon" and I have a sewing date on Saturday with my friend Emily that should help me make quick work of the top! Can't wait!
I hope everyone is having a great week!
