I'm really happy with the way it came out. It's so bright and pretty. Almost all of the seams and corners match and look great. I finally figured out that if I move my sewing needle one click to the right, I can get much more true 1/4 inch seams.After I layed the quilt out, I used post it labels to make sure that I sewed the blocks up in the SAME way that I had it layed out. Wow! I can't believe how much easier that made it. And in the beginning, I was really glad - because something had happened to my brain and was sewing the blocks together wrong. I can't tell you how many seams I ripped before I got in the groove of what I was supposed to be doing.
I keep thinking that I should name this quilt, but the reality is that I haven't ever named my quilts. I'm not sure if it's something I should start, or not. However, it is rather boring calling it the pink and orange quilt. Something to ponder.
Here's another, close up shot of some blocks:
Now, I'm determined to finish this quilt. I got some great fabric at JoAnn's that has both pink and orange in it for the backing.
First, however, I'm going to get caught up on the Quilt Along. I finally got my Kona Snow in, so I'm ready to go!

It's beautiful!
Thanks for letting me know that a link in one of my posts wasn't working. I corrected it, so now you can go check out Judy's blog and her Quilt for an Hour!
I always name my quilts. I guess it's because I need a way to refer to them when I talk about them.
It is fun when seams come together like they are supposed to! Post it notes are great. I use them to keep me from making mistakes when I sew rows together. However, my seam ripper and I are best friends; we know each other very well. :)
Thanks for visiting my blog and commenting!
I love the colors you used!! it's so summery! Makes me want to make a tequila sunrise and curl up in it. :)
Holy scrap, that's CUTE! I LOVE the colors.
That seems like such a happy quilt. I know it would make me smile every time I saw it.
I think you should name it.
LOVE this quilt! LOVE IT.
Looks like sherbet!
I would name it too. I name mine...it's like they're my kids or something...kind of weird, but I put so much in to them and they take on a life of their own. I think tequila sunrise is a great suggestion!
