This quilt was made to be our picnic quilt. And it was inspired by this quilt. I find swim notes quilts so inspiring. She used to have a blog. I wish she still did. (hint hint if you are reading this!)
6' x 6'
machine pieced, quilted and bound
I loved using some of my favorite larger prints for this quilt. This whole quilt is filled with favorite colors and fabrics. I did a simple loopy quilting across the quilt. And between you and me, I hid four hearts in the quilting. One for each of us. I'm not telling my family. Let's see if they find them.
Now if it only wasn't blazing hot out, we would go for a picnic. Oh well, it's ready and waiting for the cooler temperatures of fall. I'm already making a mental list of all the places I want to have a picnic.
